	La Pérouse protection sought - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		MAKENA, Maui — Rejected as a full-fledged national park, the rugged and sun-splashed La Pérouse region of Maui could land on its feet with a "national seashore" designation.
		U.S. Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawai'i, said he plans to ask the National Park Service to investigate the feasibility of granting the lesser status to protect the popular coastal area, which is under increasing commercial and visitor pressures.
		Although the study's March report did not recommend national park status, it did find that the area's numerous Hawaiian archaeological sites and its coral reef are of "statewide significance" worthy of state protection, perhaps through creation of a state park.
