WAIANAE, Hawaii (March 4, 2019) -- Kahus Glen Kila and Chris Oliveira of Waianae led the Hawaiian blessing for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'-managed Piilaau Army Recreation Center seawall repair project (PARC). The $4 million project will demolish and replace 700 linear feet of the existing seawall that protects the PARC shoreline along Pokai Bay. The kahus ceremony focused on the location's historical significance and importance of maintaining the'aina (nature) of the area. Photo by Dino W. Buchanan, Honolulu District Public Affairs
