The Maui Inland Sand Resource Quantification Study prepared for the County of Maui Department of Public Works and Environmental Management is now posted on the County of Maui website at http://www.mauicounty.gov under "New Additions."

"The information contained in the study verifies what we have long believed," said Mayor Alan Arakawa, "that our sand resources are finite and that perhaps we should consider a moratorium on sand exports to preserve this resource a long as possible for the people of Maui County to whom the resource belongs.

"I urge everyone who is interested in protecting Maui's resources to read this document," Arakawa said
