Climate Change

(Civil Beat Q & A) What more should Kauai County be doing to prepare for the effects of climate change, including sea level rise and threats to the reefs?

Kauai paid for a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2016. Rather than reinvent the wheel and spend more money on a new plan, let’s look at the recommendations and move forward with what makes sense. Briefly, not approving building permits on Kauai’s shorelines in anticipation of water level rise is prudent.

Establishing emergency relocation areas in the event of a disaster is also a good idea.I also agree with updating zoning based on current models. On a side note: With the lack of tourism, our beaches are cleaner and our reefs are returning.

Water is free and is, due to the Public Trust, controlled by our County.  The delivery of water is currently controlled by the private sector. We need to work together as stewards of this most precious of resources.

Honoring our Past to Direct our Future
Aloha Friends, my focus is on Kaua’i’s sustainable economy. You will find my campaign banners are purchased from a local vendor, my campaign cookies from a young Kaua’i entrepreneur starting her business, my mailer which you will receive shortly was ordered and printed locally, my campaign hats from a local vendor. Actions speak louder than words. Ask your candidates where they spend their campaign money. This will say a lot about their priorities.
