We live on an active volcano.. ie things change.. and nothing 'comes back'
And besides, there are so many other options.. better options.. going forward. Why would anyone want Pohoiki back?
Same reason many of us would love to have the original Kalapana shoreline back. Swimming and surfing opportunities for East Hawaii residents. Unfortunate to say that the 90-plus mile shoreline from Southpoint to Waipio Valley is one of the most inhospitable tropical shorelines in the world for ocean recreation for people of average or poor swimming ability.
YES! We know that sand will keep filling it in. So you just have to budget for maintenance. East Hawaii needs safe ocean swimmimg again.
