The Honolua to Honokohau Management Plan covers the makai lands for the Honolua and Honokohau Ahupua‘a. Mark Deakos took this photo of empty Honolua Bay in September 2020.
WEST MAUI “Overtourism” may well be one of the most unlikely side-effects of COVID-19. Or not? It’s an inflammatory condition stemming from chronic, deep-seeded pockets of greed, gnawing away at the culture. Cries of overuse and abuse can be heard across Hawaii Nei from the Road to Hana to the beaches at Hanalei. Unfortunately, the West Side has not been spared. Our treasured wild along the rugged north shore has been threatened by this ugly scourge; Honolua Bay is under attack.
Help clean up Honolua Bay
By Staff | Feb 26, 2021 Honolua Bay stewards seek volunteers for a major cleanup on Saturday, Feb. 27, from 8 to 11 a.m. Volunteers will meet in the Honolua Bay small parking area across from the purple food truck. Drop in any time between 8 and 10:30 a.m. and you’ll be directed to different areas that need attention. Projects will include picking up litter around Honolua Bay and planting milo trees. Volunteers will also load piles of rubbish collected at the baseyard into a trash dumpster. If you have a truck, you may be needed to haul some pallets or tires to the dump (e-mail ashley@dthmaui.com for information).
