AG: Austin Griffey— District 6. 1 second that motion. <br /> AA: OK. Open for discussion. Any discussion from Commissioners? <br /> LT: Do you know how manta ray tours there are? <br /> AA: OK, guys, sorry, I missed a step. I guess we're supposed to make a roll call vote so Sylvia, <br /> can you make a roll call vote please. <br /> SW: Oh, no, no, that's right, I'm sorry. <br /> AA: Oh, not yet. <br /> SW: No, not yet— Deputy Corporation Counsel, Sylvia Wan. What I was just trying to provide <br /> some parameters as far as the discussion—at this point because the motion for creation <br /> of this PIG —the discussion should probably be geared towards the parameters of this <br /> particular group that she may want to create as well as whether or not it should or <br /> should not be created. That's all. Just providing parameters. <br /> AA: Thank you. <br /> AG: I got a question. District 6, Austin... <br /> AA: Go ahead, Austin. <br /> AG: I kinda missed what was going on [unclear] stuff going on there, but Natalie, what is our <br /> plan?Are you trying to put a stop to the Manta rays or permit number list of how much <br /> people are actually doing it or what's your game plan there? <br /> NR: So basically what—the issue that I came across is— how can GMAC help regulate and <br /> sustain the oceanic preservation due to too many people working without permits <br /> doing, I guess you could say, illegal manta ray tours. So, they want to know if GMAC can <br /> help them out by coming up with like suggestions through the county about harsher <br /> fines— like a fine if they're doing this illegally. Because you're only—get they—the <br /> county only gets x amount and that's' already full, but, yeah, down in Keauhou there's <br /> so many people down there doing it 7 days a week— literally like 24/7 so I guess I can <br /> look into to see how many people are actually doing it and then providing that, I mean, I <br /> really don't know its just their concerns. <br /> AG: OK. Got it. Thank you. <br /> RD: Chair? Chairman, some further advice. I have the DLNR news release of October 27, <br /> 2022, essentially, it's additional community input ahead for proposed manta viewing <br /> 6 <br />
