BEST ENVIRONMENTAL TEASE
Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge
First they go and build a wonderful 2,200-foot scenic boardwalk along the refuge out of recycled plastic planks and nails that cracked in the warm sunlight, forcing officials to rebuild the entire thing with even more recycled plastic-and-wood planks and screws. Then they still don’t open it because they haven’t completed—or even started to build—a small parking lot at the base of the boardwalk. As though that wasn’t nearly enough, Kealia Refuge and Alexander & Baldwin officials have also been delaying the construction of a permanent fence to keep rare sea turtles from crawling onto North Kihei Road, even though such a fence has been in storage at the refuge for the last few years.
