The current alternative “policy” to the current one could be to renew the agreement and ask for another 65 years on the island or to completely change the policy regarding the given leases altogether and give Mokauea island to the community as any such farmland or historical site. To do the math, the 65 year leases were given in 1975, which means that public access and the land will be taken back by the government in 2040, the current year is 2014, giving restoration groups and actions to renew or change lease policy only 26 more years of action.
