What's Being Discussed

The Maui County Council's Water Authority, Social Services, and Parks Committee will meet on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. to discuss one topic:

• Coqui frogs in East Maui — The committee will hear a presentation from the Maui Invasive Species Committee about ongoing efforts to control coqui frog populations. This includes containing existing groups of frogs, eliminating smaller isolated infestations, and stopping the invasive species from spreading to new areas. The discussion will also cover treatment priorities and resources available to residents.

Decisions Expected

No votes or legislative action are planned for this meeting. It is an informational session only — the committee will receive a presentation and may discuss related matters, but will not be passing any laws or resolutions at this time.

Who Should Pay Attention

• East Maui residents who have heard or seen coqui frogs near their homes or properties
• Property owners and farmers concerned about the spread of invasive species
• Anyone interested in environmental issues or invasive species management on Maui

The public can participate in person at the Council Chamber in Wailuku, online via Microsoft Teams, or by phone. Courtesy testimony sites are also available on Lāna'i, Molokaʻi, and in several Maui communities. Oral testimony is limited to 3 minutes per person.
