(Because the situation’s DIRE)
The DIRE Coalition is a group of Maui organizations, residents and visitors committed to protecting our precious coral reefs and ocean and to wise use of scarce water resources. The DIRE Coalition advocates reclaiming and using our treated wastewater for irrigation, stream restoration, green belts and fire prevention, rather than injecting it into wells were it migrates to the ocean, promotes algae growth, and suffocates our reefs.

A new public affairs series airing on
Akaku: Maui Community Television
watch the preview video below...
For over two decades Maui Tomorrow has worked in partnership with community groups and individuals on issues, including alternative energy, food security, the preservation of natural and cultural resources, and more… all vital to Maui’s quality of life.
Our hope is that each episode of “Protecting Maui’s Future” will give our community more information on these issues and let you know what you can do to get involved.
The current episode deals with DIRE Coalition and injection wells, Maui Food Web, the Maui Island Plan, Person of the Month Randy Awo and Tom Stevens' Shave Ice.
We hope you’ll join us as we examine the many important issues facing Maui County today and tomorrow as we work together to Protect Maui’s Future.

Ever wish you could have a show televised when you want it? Well, Akaku allows you to personally arrange to have the program shown on channel 54 at any available time that better fits your schedule! Here's how:
On your computer, go to www.akaku.org. Click on "Program Channel 54" on the blue banner near the top. In the "Title Number" box, enter 10225 and click Search. Now click on the program title, "Protecting Maui's Future."
On the page that appears, click on "Play Now" if you want the program to start right away on channel 54. If the time is not available, it will advise when it can be run.
Or click on "Schedule." Select one of the next six days and a starting time (the end time will be entered automatically.) Then choose what you want to do if there's a conflict - take the first available time, or first available date with the exact time you selected.
Finally, click "Submit." Akaku will then confirm the show will run when you requested, or explain why you need to make another choice.
In a compromise decision that is being called "groundbreaking" and "historic", State Commission on Water Resource Management members chose to restore some of the natural water flow to six East Maui streams.
