Recently, e hoʻi ka nani has become a rallying cry for the community of Maui Komohana and others across the state who are united in their conviction to advance community-driven land and water management consistent with legal duties and principles under Hawaiʻi’s Public Trust Doctrine.
The Spring 2024 Symposium also aimed to celebrate Chief Justice William S. Richardson’s legacy and jurisprudence surrounding water rights and expansion of the Public Trust.
