The State of Hawaii is currently trying to ban the aquarium fishery which is the most managed near shore fishery in the State. This aquarium fishery has been compliant with the court and the State engaging in an environmental review over the span of 4 years. This HEPA review discloses all the science, the management, the cultural/societal aspects, and proposes additional conditions further managing the fishery to beyond its previous sustainable level. The BLNR and the judiciary have accepted and upheld the process that’s been completed. We are still in good faith, working our way through the process and expect this procedure to be allowed to complete.
Science provides up to date fish counts and does not support a total ban. This is an environmental movement against fishing, and against management.
We, the undersigned, call the State of Hawaii not to ban any form of fishing within State waters.
We support fishery management,backed by scientific data, to ensure the fish and reefs will be around for generations to come.
