HONOLULU — Hundreds of opponents of a planned telescope on Hawaii’s highest peak have launched a protest march.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that activists opposed to the Thirty Meter Telescope started marching Sunday morning in Waikiki.
Last week, hundreds of protesters blocked a road on the Big Island to stop construction of the $1.4 billion telescope on Maunakea.
Democratic Gov. David Ige has said National Guard units would be used to transport personnel and equipment as well as to enforce road closures on the Big Island.
As about 800 to 1,200 activists gathered there Friday, Ige said no more troops would be called in.
