The contractor is required to allow boaters to launch and retrieve their vessels, depending on where it is working and the progress it has made.

But kayakers, paddle boarders and other recreational boaters must go to other areas, such as Kuhio Kalanianaole Park or Hilo Bayfront Beach Park, for their activities.
