Maui County is seeking residents’ feedback on the creation of a wetlands map during a public meeting from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Maui Ocean Center Sphere in Maalaea.

As part of a new county law to restore and protect wetlands, planning officials are working on a comprehensive map that will identify existing and future wetland areas. The map will eventually launch on the county website and help property owners, land managers and county planners with important land-use decisions, according to a news release.

Facilitated by the county Planning Department, University of Hawai’i Sea Grant College Program and consultant H.T. Harvey and Associates, the meeting next week will gather ideas from the community to help prepare the first draft of the overlay map.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Participants can sign up by scanning the QR code or visiting eventbrite.com/e/maui-county-public-scoping-meeting-on-ordinance-5421-wetland-overlay-map-tickets-749593994817?aff=oddtdtcreator.
