The Army in Hawaii is seeking the Leeward Coast's input in a  
community survey regarding marine resources at Makua Beach and  
surrounding areas.

The Army is asking for specific input on the types and location of  
seaweed, octopus, sea cucumber and other non-fish/non-shellfish  
species that people eat or use. The information will help the Army  
identify, find and test these marine species as part of a marine  
resources study.

The study will determine whether military activities at Makua  
Military Reservation have contributed or will contribute to any  
contamination of the marine resources near Makua and whether the  
proposed Army training activities at MMR pose a health risk to area  
residents who rely on these marine resources for food or other purposes.
