Lahaina Small Boat Harbor

“Make the re-establishment of the Lahaina Harbor community businesses and workers a priority as these businesses and workers are in great need of re-establishing their livelihoods after such a devastating event.”

Community Quote, Ola Lahaina Recovery Survey

Purpose

The harbor was destroyed in the August 2023 wildfires and is a critical component of the rehabilitation and revitalization of Lahaina. The Harbor is vital to the community’s recovery and long-term well-being as it supports the local economy through tourism, recreation and commercial activity. It provides safe docking of vessels and can contribute to resilience as a mechanism for evacuations and transport of goods. Additionally, the harbor provides important cultural benefit, fostering social connections through local traditions.

Project Description

This project includes multiple phases and components, listed as follows, to restore recreational and commercial activity.

Reconstruction of Harbor Fuel System
Bathymetric survey and debris removal
Removal and replacement of mooring anchor blocks, steel and concrete piles
Repair of loading pier
Assessment and repair of water system leaks
Dredging of harbor and Mala boat ramp
Replacement of Front Row piers and dinghy dock
Reconstruction of inner and outer marginal wharfs
