flag A lawsuit challenges Honolulu’s Ritz-Carlton approval at Turtle Bay, citing an outdated environmental review that ignored new threats to endangered species.

flag A lawsuit has been filed challenging Honolulu’s approval of a Ritz-Carlton resort at Turtle Bay on Oahu’s North Shore, arguing the city relied on a 2013 environmental review that ignored new ecological threats. flag Environmental groups say the outdated assessment failed to account for endangered Hawaiian yellow-faced bees, a growing Laysan albatross colony, and increasing sightings of Hawaiian monk seals. flag The suit, filed by Earthjustice on behalf of conservation and community groups, claims the decision violates Hawaii’s environmental laws and demands a new review before construction begins.
