Recently, more and more focus has been put on the harbor area at Maalaea for proposed development.  This encompasses everything from new large real estate projects to new Algae farming for power.

Ohana Kai is one of the new proposed real estate projects at Maalaea.  There is a log to controversy over this property due to ecological impact from drainage as well as traffic issues.

The Algae plant would be the first fully functioning Algae power plant in the world.  They been testing the possibility on the Big Island, but if it gets the go ahead, this new power plant would supply much of the energy needed for Maui.
