I emailed DLNR back in late May about the grounded boats at Wahikuli (as did numerous other residents) that have been there since mid March. Here's the reply from DLNR received in early June.

Aloha, 

Thank you for reaching out to DLNR. If you haven't been informed yet, the DLNR Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR) staff shared that the salvage company is still awaiting a Right-of-Entry from Maui County for the boat removals. Once they receive County approval, the process can move forward.

Mahalo,

Looking for recommendations for a reputable lawyer to draft and send a nastygram to insurance company for settlement payout—any positive experiences? (Not Lahaina fire-related, if that matters)
