Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – February 11, 2020 the fishing association – that comes with rules, yeah, and so it’s been working and there was a few other communities down Laupahoehoe, Paauilo, that reached out to me and I helping them trying to build their game management plan and how they should be open to the community members to be a part of whatever decisions like Kam School down in Paauilo on the shoreline – they reached out to me – we working on that and it’s working fine for them now, you know, as long as they include the community who depends on the i’a from the ocean for their families – now it seems to be working. So for us it’s been successful – it was hard work for me at first but if I don’t do ‘em who’s gonna do it, you know, and along the way I was able to gain more people to understand and even do more malama aina and for the people who live on the shoreline that thought they owned the shoreline – we made it clear to them that their deeds indicate that they do not own the shoreline, you know, going to Planning, talking to Alex Roy – who is the shoreline guy – he shared all – whatever part of the Island you live – he’s got the shoreline information on the proper ways to go about things so... Sharing that with my community and adjacent communities has been very good for us and for everybody. AA: What’s his name again? JMG: Alex Roy from Planning. He is the – before was – Bethany Miller, I guess, something like that – but now it’s Alex Roy and he’s a really nice guy – he also resides Papaikou and I work with the Papaikou Association there – they come out and they fish because you got the one lady that don’t want nobody down the old mill, right, she owns ‘em and they even closed the Pinky’s Road once - one week out of the year – cause she don’t want nobody to go down her easement. So, you know, there’s a lot of things that I look into – we watch – now that we have six cruise ships coming into our docks every week, you know, it seems to me that this tourism industry – which I came from – worked at the hotel for a long time, you know, I lived off tourism, right, I’m a bellman – but it seems to me that with out – I don’t know who accept these guys to come in – more ships – I don’t know whose plan is that – I don’t know if it’s the county or the state – but what’s happening now is because these cruise ships are coming and our bay front is not that deep – they’re emptying their waste outside so from what I heard it should be ten miles out of dock but ten miles out of dock puts you right in front of Pepeekeo, yeah, it should be ten miles from land to – but I don’t know who to go – I don’t know where do we even start to even look into this on trying to get them to dump their waste ten miles away from land because we’re finding that the water smells like the purple water in the out house – the toilet paper is showing up on the shorelines – they’re dumping it out there – right out there in Pepeekeo and, ah, the fishermen can smell that purple fluid that they put in the outhouse, yeah, so the only probably really good thing, you know, out there is you know got to put sun block – you just jump in the water it come out all oiled up already – but other than that, um, we don’t know, I don’t know if we try and include Mark Nakashima who is the, you know, state representative for 23
