Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – February 11, 2020 <br />it’s the most important thing for our river banks, you know, we got water bee <br />(sp?) we got bamboo shoots, we got avocados, whatever it might be, you <br />know, and this is to make sure that our resources is being able to live, I mean, <br />in my river, the river that Richard Ha is diverting, the resources is depleted. <br />The opae’s is gone. Prawns is gone. The crayfish – prawns and crayfish you <br />might see a few but we don’t want to catch ‘em cause we hoping they going <br />migrate, you know, I like teach my kids how for gather but how can I do that if <br />there’s no resources and that’s why me and cousin Ricky is paying attention <br />to the waterways, you know ,but yeah... <br /> <br />AA: Thank you... <br /> <br />JMG: Thank you. <br /> <br />c. Hawai’i Hunting Association, Tom Lodge, How firearm bills may <br />adversely affect hunters. Tom was not able to attend meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />6. OLD BUSINESS: <br /> <br />a. Discussion of the DOFAW presentation of game bird population <br />statistics, and how we can encourage an investigation into the cause <br />of game bird population decline. <br /> <br />AA: Any discussion? None. <br /> <br /> <br />7: NEW BUSINESS: <br /> <br />a. Commissioner brainstorming session on how we may best gather <br />support/opposition with GMAC related bills in the Legislature <br /> <br />LL: Louisa Lee – I’m from Hilo. So I mostly want to talk about new business a. <br />and b. So the first is kind of a question. Where would the general public go to <br />which bills GMAC is supporting or opposed to and I guess more importantly <br />How can we – besides this meeting – these forums – how can we influence <br />whether you’re supporting or opposing – we talk to the person in our district? <br /> <br />AA: When it comes to that part I’ll hit that when it comes to the committee report – <br />so you can move on to your next one. <br /> <br />LL: OK. So the second one is related to b. My kind of area of interest and my <br />biggest concern is that I don’t feel like there’s enough community and public <br />participation in these meetings and so I’m primarily here to talk about a few <br />strategies for getting more community feedback. So number one – it’s very, <br />very hard to kind of figure out when these meetings are. If I go onto the <br />26 <br /> <br /> <br />
