The Hawaii Superferry

There has been a lot of controversy about the Hawaii Superferry. I can see why many of the locals on Maui and Kauai are mad about this. If you have ever seen the west side of Kauai, where barely anyone lives, you would know how beautiful it is. There is no road going around that side of the island but you can still get there by other methods of transportation. My neighbors flew to Kauai with their kayaks and kayaked around the west side of Kauai, stopping at every valley to camp out. Right after their trip, there was talk about the Hawaii Superferry going to Kauai and Maui. My neighbors were bummed because they couldn't imagine what it would be like with a lot of tourists there rather than just a few people. Even though there is no road on the west side and people are bringing their cars, it still doesn't mean that they can't visit the west side. Also, when people visit there, they might wreck the environment like leaving their rubbish all over the place. Their cars will also fill up the existing roads. The problem is probably the same for Maui.
Another thing about the Hawaii Superferry is that the people who started up the business didn't ever bother to ask the public for their opinion about the Superferry idea. Now that the Superferry is already doing its routes, the public only now has the chance to speak up louder although it might be too late. Right now there are people protesting and they have caused many delays for the Superferry. If they are able to keep this up, it could help stop the Superferry from running its routes to Kauai and Maui altogether.
