Pride of Aloha greeted with protests
A
Star-Bulletin
article
about the arrival of the new NCL cruise ship
"Pride of Aloha" notes that, "A group of several dozen native
Hawaiian activists protested the ship's
arrival in Hilo and police were called when
traffic was impeded. Police said no arrests were made and the activists
dispersed after a couple of hours." An
Advertiser
story
says, "The Pride of Aloha passengers were also greeted by a small protest
outside the harbor gate by about 30 sign-waving members and supporters of the
Native Hawaiian nonprofit group Moku O Keawe 'Ohana." See the
Kahea
website for information about the
environmental
damage caused by cruise ships, including
releasing tons of raw
sewage into Hawaii's ocean waters each
day.
