WAILUKU, Hawaii — The National Park Service is considering implementing a wristband system as way to manage crowds at the popular Pools of Oheo on Maui. Haleakala National Park closed the pools in the Kipahulu District indefinitely in January 2017 following a rockslide that injured a visitor. Following the closure of the pools, the park spent about $100,000 to remove vegetation and loose debris and rocks. The pools have remained closed because the stream monitoring system is inoperative, park compliance co-ordinator Linette King told The Maui News. The park service is taking public comment on the proposed plan through the end of October.
