DEFENSE
The Maunalua Bay Boat Ramp dredging project in Hawai'i Kai is scheduled for completion in February, ahead of its timeline, with a final cost of approximately $7.15 million. The initiative, aimed at improving navigational safety by removing sand and repairing seawalls, marks the first dredging of the main entrance channel since the 1960s and includes environmental monitoring as per U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers regulations. The project has achieved savings by reusing dredged sand on local shorelines.
