Next ‘Green Fee’ projects to involve more public input

GEORGE F. LEE / SEPT. 14

Measuring the effectiveness of a federally funded $23 million concrete reef system being established off Kalaeloa is one of 91 “Green Fee” projects approved earlier this year. A $915,000 appropriation for the state Department of Transportation will be used to test how the system, parts of which are shown here, dissipates wave energy to protect the shoreline over two years.
