Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – September 10, 2019 <br /> <br />KS: I mean, we’re not going to herbicide endangered species – I would say that, <br />as part of this project we’re trying to minimize the amount of herbicide that we <br />would use and ideally we’d be able to mow all of those roads on each side. <br /> <br />NP: A combination deal, just recently Germany banned Glyphosate and probably <br />all of the above because they’ve found evidence that those chemicals were <br />killing their pollinators, so they banned it and I know U.S. Fish & Wildlife is – <br />did they already put the 49 more species on the Endangered Species list that <br />they’ve been working on? They had 49 more that they were trying to put on <br />the list... And it was a few years ago and I don’t know where that’s progressed <br />but on that list there were several bees – native bees and I’m just wondering if <br />that’s a concern with areas that are heavily protected like that you’re dealing <br />with... <br /> <br />?: I mean we’re concerned about all species not just endangered species so, I <br />mean, if we can minimize the impact to the ecosystem – that’s our goal. <br /> <br />KS: The purpose of the action is to protect the area from... <br /> <br />NP: Fire... <br /> <br />JO: Would take all species... <br /> <br />KS: Right... <br /> <br />TN: This is Teresa in Kona. Besides using the possibility of the goats and your <br />mowing method what other alternatives would you folks have in the field of <br />herbicide that is not so detrimental to, you know, humans and animals and <br />our plants and species up there. Have you looked into other areas of <br />alternatives? <br /> <br />?: I think we’re open to suggestions if you have any ideas. <br /> <br />TN: Have you experimented with other alternatives? Anything? <br /> <br />?: No. I’m just curious what the other alternatives are that you’re referencing <br />cause these are kind of the tools that we’ve been using so if there’s <br />something else out there we’d like to know about it. <br /> <br />TN: Have you used just home remedies like, you know, vinegar and water and <br />Clorox and water and – I don ‘t know what the chemical compounds are of the <br />household use but have you tried experimenting if these items would work on <br />the grassy area in... <br /> <br />?: I have not... <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
