A private firm wants residents to share their knowledge of Nawiliwili so it can assess the potential cultural impacts from a large-capacity ferry operating at the island’s main harbor.Cultural Surveys Hawai`i will be interviewing community members in the next two months. The public input will be incorporated into a comprehensive environmental study conducted by Belt Collins Hawai`i that includes secondary and cumulative impacts.Last year the state mandated an after-the-fact environmental review of $40 million in statewide harbor improvements to accommodate Hawai`i Superferry, a company that has struggled to keep its head up in a sea of legal and technical trouble and waves of community resistance since its launch last summer.
