1. County of Hawaii Contingency Grant Funds. These funds were dedicated to shoreline maintenance and documentation of the effort. We spent funds on supplies to rehabilitate a broken greenhouse including planting supplies. The greenhouse is now up and running with new plastic and irrigation as well as about 500 native plants that we have been planting in the shoreline. We spent monies on tools and gloves for volunteers to use to aloha aina and complete restoration efforts. We also dedicated some funds to a media intern to help document the stories of the shoreline.
