Hi Punawebbers,
Here's an update on what's going on with the ‘io issue now.
This coming Tuesday, June 30th, there will be a meeting with the USFWS at the Pu'ueo Community Center in Hilo for public comment about the proposed de-listing of the 'io, from 6-8PM.
Pu'ueo C.C. is just north of bayfronts at 145 Wainaku St.
(Take Keawe St. North across Waianuenue and cross the bridge. It turns into Pu'ueo St. - take the 1st left after the bridge onto Ohai, then the 1st right onto Wainaku St. The center is half a block on the left.)
Another meeting will be held in Captain Cook, Weds, July 1 at Yano Hall 6-8PM.
The public comment period has now re-opened and will end August 4th. If you have previously commented and wish to comment again with any new info - that's great too.
"The Service welcomes all comments regarding the proposed rule and the draft post delisting monitoring plan, but is especially interested in those pertaining to biological, commercial trade, or other relevant data concerning any threats to this species; additional information concerning the range, distribution, and population size of this species, including the locations of any additional populations; current or planned activities in the areas occupied by the species and possible impacts of these activities, as well as data on population trends."
