SW: It's on the website, so, GMAC reposted a link to the plan on their website, so that
<br /> members of the public could follow along today.
<br /> LT: Ah, and then, things like, "Carrying Capacity", of animals, in our properties, other things
<br /> like inventory of native plants, this not only have to do with the animals, that we are in
<br /> charge of, but it also has to do with the food, and the other native plants, that we disrupt.
<br /> Because game animals have their disruption ideas. I think it is important for us to get
<br /> also, the inventory of native plants, so that way we can see if the pigs are damaging these
<br /> plants. Last weekend, last month we went up to the North area of Kulani, where they
<br /> said that their rodent control of cats, rats, are ummm, they only catch, how much pigs,
<br /> how much did they say they catch a month? (100's) hundreds, they say this is the most
<br /> successful they ever been at protecting the bird and that came from Nick Augustus, who
<br /> is the head of NARS. Yeah, we took a field trip with him last month.
<br /> JA: Did you say 178?
<br /> LT: Yeah, and so, we'll be doing a presentation next month on that. But, ahh,just going over
<br /> the native plants inventory. Things like inventory of our trails, we don't really have an
<br /> inventory of all our trails that we could go hiking, hunting and gathering on. They are not
<br /> on any map all of the trails, not the official trails. And then, another one is, along with
<br /> the trails, is public access, so, maybe public access so actually naming the trails, right? So,
<br /> we have public access including areas, which are, our gathering, hiking, and hunting trails.
<br /> These are some of the things that I wanted to look over, and kind of brainstorm and see
<br /> how we can implement these ideas, inside the General Plan, under Game Management.
<br /> RD: Chair Robert Duerr District 1, Mr. Flaherty mentioned the basically mapping, having Game
<br /> Management plan, and then also looking, having an action item, these items being under
<br /> the office of sustainability, which is headed by former senator Laura Acasio who has
<br /> testified, and good friend of hunters and fishers. And has been before this commission
<br /> in the past. So, as Mr. Flaherty is saying is all find and good unless there is some
<br /> accountability and would the office of sustainability be interested in this? Would there
<br /> be an outreach to Laura Acasio? I do know she is very interested in sustainable hunting
<br /> and fishing and how meaningful it is to providing food for families. Now Mr. Flaherty has
<br /> also mentioned the upcoming, upcoming calendar, byJuly 15,that they're looking to start
<br /> the process on biological security, is that what it was? Mr. Flaherty...
<br /> SW: That should be section 2, collaborative biological cultural stewardship.
<br /> LT: Yep
<br /> SW: That starts on page 37 of the plan...
