Marina Progress Report

While excavation of the east half of Hoakalei Marina continues, cleanup of the west side is underway.

A yellow silt curtain has been installed to separate the west end from the east to allow a specially-equipped boat to begin “vacuuming” up silt and loose coral from the bottom of the marina. The desilting effort will be repeated on the east side once excavation of the waterway is complete.

Later this summer, contractors will begin installing granite armor stone along portions of the marina’s edge. That work is expected to take several months to complete.

A multi-lane boat launch ramp facility, fishing piers and slips all need to be constructed before work on the marina’s entrance channel can begin.
