The Special 1,110 Acres of the Pupukea-Paumalu Area on the North Shore of Oahu
- "The Pupukea-Paumalu area on the North Shore of Oahu consists of one thousand one hundred ten acres and is bordered by the Paumalu gulch, Pupukea-Paumalu forest reserve, and the Kalunawaikaala gulch and stream. The [Hawaii] legislature finds that the area includes important coastal scenic views of the Koolau and Waianae mountain ranges, in addition to a wide variety of cultural, historic, environmental, open space, visual, and recreational resources. Its unique features attract tourists to the north shore of Oahu and thereby provide economic support for the rural community. Additionally, the area creates a buffer between the north shore community and the extensive military activity in the surrounding area. Two state water reserves and several watersheds are located within the boundaries of the area." - excerpt from Hawaii's House of Representatives Bill #2759, which was recently introduced and which would fund the acquisition of the Pupukea-Paumalu land from a Japanese development company.
