On July 9, 2010, Obama Administration officials held a public meeting of the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force at the Imin Conference Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa.  Hawaii and the Pacific had an opportunity to voice their thoughts, questions, and concerns regarding the climate change impact and express federal development efforts already in progress to the senior members of the Obama Administration.
