The Office of Hawaiian Affairs welcomes the announcement by Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar and the federal government of a biofuels research partnership with the Department of Energy, Navy, and University of Hawai'i.
OHA has committed significant resources to support restoration of mauka-to-makai flow in Maui's Nä Wai 'Ehä ("The Four Waters"), which will benefit and safeguard these resources for all stakeholders. OHA views the partnership as an opportunity for a win-win resolution of the Central Maui water dispute.
