Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) localize management in <br />collaboration with the state. So, we want to support that as well. In <br />areas we don't have CBSFA, specific organization that is spearheading <br />any type of effort, we are looking forming a disciplinary stakeholder <br />group. Again, they get inclusive as they can as much input from <br />everyone putting together a comprehensive plan. We are also <br />looking at re-evaluating our existing Marine Management Areas <br />(MMA's) we have a bunch of MMA's especially in West Hawaii, and <br />the Island and to see how effective they are and where we can <br />improve? Because nothing is perfect we want to really evaluate and <br />adapt as needed. Finally incorporate existing areas that are resilient, <br />that we know that can support marine resources and places that are <br />naturally resilient and have a healthy habitat that can support marine <br />resources. We want to include those areas of produce network. <br />Areas' where we can bolster and improve just the overall habitat <br />ecosystem for resource use, but also fun. And we also wanted <br />initiate and welcome talk story session like for instance like here, and <br />also any other community organization community leaders to come <br />together and really guide the initiative forwards, especially <br />community place base areas. So, towards this effort, we are going to <br />be hosting a series of opportunities where we can come together <br />hopefully, we are looking towards the fall to come together discuss <br />this thing locally. To see where we can come together and discuss <br />this. So, we have a decision-making tool that we are working on we <br />want to use to facilitate this discussing moving forward together to <br />decide what how best to go about management. We also want to <br />provide getting input from people on new or existing entities, sorry <br />entities, referring to marine management areas, and seeing you <br />know getting feedback on those existing ones and getting any input, <br />if the community feel if there are any areas that the community want <br />further protection for better management. And we will be working <br />with a multitude of stakeholders again to come together and talk <br />stories. Another effort that has been on going is looking at herbivore <br />management. So, we are looking at, so that what is the scoping <br />meetings, been focus on. We are looking at, you know, rules, how <br />we can better manage the herbivore fish on the reefs. They play <br />such a key role and function on the coral reef by keeping the limu in <br />16 <br />
