The State has no advisory organization related to its game animal resource. Hawaii's Fish and Game Commission was abolished in 1929. Most other states rely on these Commissions for advice and oversight in matters relating to management of game resources. Question: Question: Why has the Department resisted formation of an advisory body that represents the focused concerns of the hunting community, and which could assist the State in conducting a program of scientifically -based game management? Subject: DLNR Deputy Chair, meeting on June 22nd Aloha Kekoa, We are looking forward to you and Chair Case's participation in the Hawaii County Game management Advisory Commission meeting on June 22nd 6:30pm Hilo County Council Chambers. Per our conversation we had with Governor Ige on June 8th, in regards to DLNR's commission on water resource management and the State of Hawaii's "Water Resource Protec0on Plan" we look forward to your discussion regarding the following questions; 1) An assessment and discussion of ground water monitoring network sites in Hawaii and how was/is long term, reliable data collection and analyses being used to develop improved management decisions through an interactive approach of data collection and analysis when only 17% How of monitoring well sites in the State are actively being monitored? 2) How did the CWRM utilize the best available information on the occurrence, location, extent, and behavior of water resources to support resource management, policy and regulatory decisions, and planning efforts if 156 of the 187 monitoring well sites in the State that were active in 1999 have been discontinued? 3) What individual or group determined what areas of the State required additional watershed protection based on data that did not exist? Mahalo for your time and see you on Monday. Tony Sylvester; Hawaii Sportsmen
