RE: Heart Rot of Coconut

The Maui Hotel Association supports the research efforts for controlling this above-mentioned disease of the Coconut Palm. Obviously, part of who we are in Hawaii is about the swaying Coconut trees and we must do what we can to protect our trees. The visitors expect to see palm trees and we would most certainly lose an important part of our vistas without swaying palms. We will support the bill going before the legislature to encumber $10,000 for continued research in Heart Rot Disease.

Sincerely,

Teryl Vencl
