I'm a big fan of shoreline recreation projects...
As are many. Though I suspect your concerns about the restrictive mature of shoreline use and management are more with the federal government than any environmental group or local government. I believe it is their kuleana and locally everyone is just falling in line, applying their own layer of bureaucracy of course. Shoreline management is a big deal. Try and move a rock the wrong way or without a truckload of studies and permits and OMG. But try as you might to suggest all that is the construct of Hilo or Honolulu is (I believe - please correct me if I am wrong) misplacing the blame. This also applies throughout all waterways that lead to the sea as well. All that stuff is trickling down from Washington.
