	Makua
		Makua is the Hawaiian word for "parent" or "any relative of one’s parents such as an aunt or uncle." It also means "the provider or one who cares for another." It’s a place where the dolphins play in the morning and go fishing during the day.
		They return to Makua day after day because they know the valley will provide for them, and they know this is a place where they can care for each other.
		Pokai Bay is the nearest real refuge and has a breakwater (Makua is an open bight), but it can have a tremendous surge pumping in and out, and it may be difficult for your skipper to obtain berthing on short notice.

	Makua Military Reservation (MMR)
		Makua Valley is used as an infantry and artillery range.
		The Makua Training Area consists of 4,856 acres and is a combination of fee simple, ceded, and leased land.
		At Makua, physical restrictions include the several historical sites, the lack of acreage to effectively accomplish battalion sized training missions, and insufficient range distance to fire the largest artillery weapons at maximum range.

		The Army has also refused to consider locations other than Makua, where live-fire training could be conducted with less harm to irreplaceable cultural and biological resources, violating both its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act and its promises during public scoping for the EIS in 2002 that it would explore such alternatives.
		Because of Makua’s cultural and biological importance, the public endorsed the Army’s proposals, particularly urging the Army to consider re-configuring facilities at Schofield Barracks to accommodate company-level training.
		From September 1998 until October 2001, Makua was closed to live-fire training pursuant to an earlier settlement agreement between the Army and Malama Makua (represented by Earthjustice).
