The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources has reopened all state parks, state small boat harbors, and managed forest areas on all of Hawaii’s islands.
These state lands and facilities were closed on Friday for public safety because of anticipated heavy rain, flooding, high surf and surge associated with Hurricane Ana. Assessments conducted by DLNR personnel have found minimal impacts from Ana, which passed Kauai on Sunday.
Issuance of all state forest camping and state park camping permits has been restored via the Wiki permit online reservations website. Any persons holding valid permits for state camping areas over the weekend should contact DLNR for refunds.
The department reminds all swimmers and surfers to avoid murky waters due to potential for shark bite.
Two incidents involving sharks were reported recently. Check out the stories here: Surfer says he hit shark with fist, board to stop attack | Shark bites into Maui man’s stand-up paddleboard.
