The Coastal Resources Management Office will be conducting a public meeting to solicit input from the general public, dive operators, beach users, and private land owners about possible improvements to Laulau Bay Road and Obyan Beach Road.
The meeting will be an open house format designed to generate ideas and discussion from the public regarding these beach sites, including possible improvements for roads and drainage, controlling beach access, public amenities and other usage. The meeting will be held at the Dandan Elementary School Cafeteria on Sept. 9, 6:30pm.
Both Laulau Bay and Obyan Beach are considered prime recreational areas for local residents, tourists and divers from all around the world.
Unfortunately, both areas experience severe erosion and some flash flooding during rainstorms and especially during typhoons. The flooding makes the road to Laulau Bay impassable in some areas and the erosion at both locations damages corals and affects the quality of the coastal environment.
The CRMO encourages the general public, dive operators, beach users, and private landowners to participate and be part of the solution making process. Questions regarding this public meeting can be directed to CRMO at 664-8306.
