<br />primarily manta rays but there’s others and, the other stakeholder at the table is <br />Kamehameha Bishop Estates, which essentially owns the bay and they have a plan <br />together to kind of essentially re-work the bay which includes putting parking areas for <br />the commercial operations which are now are a problem. But the controversial part of <br />that is that they also want to put in a sort of hotel/bungalows so, you know, essentially <br />for us to move forward on this we’d want to get a heads up on the manta ray business. <br />Manta ray business, essentially what happened to fishers is that DOBOR – Division of <br />Boating – eliminated fishing from their mandate. They had two mandates which was <br />recreational boating and promote fishing. They eliminated fishing. So now they’re just <br />recreational boating and with recreational boating it – they are only focused on <br />commercial because they get a monthly fee, but they also get a percentage of the <br />revenues. So essentially that’s kind of some of the situation of what’s happening in <br />Keauhou. <br /> <br />IK: Do you guys want to add that to the next agenda item for like further discussion or <br />possible… <br /> <br />RD: I think actually, yeah, I think actually the process, once it’s put in – cause this was a <br />permitted inter-action group… <br /> <br />IK: Oh, oh, OK, then. <br /> <br />RD: Yeah, so once the… <br /> <br />.IK: Well, investigative group… <br /> <br />RD: Investigative group, yes, exactly so… <br /> <br />IK: OK.
