And recently, I think thanks to Austin, DOFAW has it on their website now. And that trappers list pretty much covers the whole Island and it has been updated recently as well. LT: OK. I saw the – that’s the one – the recent one – where you got on there too, yeah? AA: Yeah. LT: OK. Right on. AA: OK. District – 4, Brian’s absent, District – 4, is still pushing for the Poiki Boat Ramp – had some movement – they had some funding and I saw something Gregory Ilagan, posted that they lost of the funding or something – you heard anything about that \[unclear\]. Robert? RD: Basically, what the preferred action plan was to dredge the whole bay at a 40-million-dollar quote. They so called have about 5.5 million which would go towards federal – 25% towards federal funds, but it’s still up in the air. AA: OK, so that’s pretty much, well, and then District – 4, still get some diseases with the pigs and stuff like that so, maybe next month I’ll share the pictures of the hunting check in stations around District -4, that was recently put up. District – 5, nothing to report just still trapping pigs, District – 6, Austin? AG: District – 6, Austin Griffey. There have been some pigs still yet with all kinds of different diseases, worms \[unclear\], stuff like that. The Milolii Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area is in effect from Kauna Point to Kipahoehoe area and in that area it’s prohibited for aquatic fishing – to take \[unclear\] female aʻama crab with eggs, opihi, \[unclear\], pakakui, uhu, eleʻele, for uhu-uliuli, to spear uhu at night with any gear-type whatsoever. There’s also seasons in affect over there and bag limits, kole season closes March thru June, from July February bag limit it is 20 per day per person. Minimum size is 5 inches. Uhu, ahaula, or uhu-palukaluka, goes March thru May from \[unclear\] from June to February bag limit is one minimum size 14” – maximum size 20”, other uhu bag limit 3 – only one may be terminal phase. Opihi and opihi- makaʻaiuli and opihi-alenaluna bag limit 1 gallon with shell and uhu is closed April thru June, ula bag limit is 2 for that area. So that’s kind of a small little coastline there that they’re doing it themselves and they’re starting to do it in Hoʻokena as well – they had a meeting last week for that. I don’t have any information on the Hoʻokena one – that’s going to be for next month. Other than that, everything’s the same. AA: Thanks, Austin. LT: Leomana, District – 3. I just had a question for Austin. Austin, the bag limit that last one did you say ula as in lobsters or… AG: Yes. LT: So, the bag limit on lobsters – two? AG: Two in that area. 4
