take of that too, ...This space that we're talking about is kind of a gray space and it's hard, <br /> but we're not shying away from it... working that space we need support and like ideas <br /> and stuff like that too, you know what I mean... How we could improve it... Maybe a <br /> comprehensive study...Department of Health to do a full assessment. You know we have <br /> partners that plan to install some permanent water quality monitoring stations not going <br /> to [inoudible]...but I think it's going to get in the dirt like, like the dirty water, that the <br /> sensors can measure that but it's not [inaudible]arsenic. You know turbidity probably is <br /> one of the parameters that would be obtainable so, some things are going to happen. <br /> ?? Thankyou <br /> LT: Leomana District 3 - Mahalo for the presentation... we've waiting for you to come here a <br /> long time... I appreciated it and I just got a couple of questions.Just knowing you are part <br /> of the Wailoa fisheries... Number 1 is the brown line around Wailoa is that from the <br /> County spraying poison, comes up from the water's edge? I notice every once in a while, <br /> the whole Wailoa pond is like a poison line that goes all the way back into town goes all <br /> the way back to the Green Onion. I was just wondering what kind of pesticide to herbicide <br /> they are spraying. <br /> RO: My division we spray a little bit in our space. Which is that little space over there and we <br /> use a little bit Aquamaster is what it is called. But the whole greater area is State parks <br /> they would know more about that. I suspect they spray too, but I don't know what they <br /> use frequently when they spray stuff like that. <br /> LT: Another question, we were talking about Talapia earlier, last year or the year before they <br /> had record sizes in Wailoa Park. What are the fishing rules behind taking out invasive, can <br /> I go in there with a spear or a gun or to try and get Talapia out? Or do we leave you guys <br /> to figure that out? <br /> RO: Yeah and no, you cannot, you got to follow the rules...you cannot, you guys seem to know <br /> the rules, these things that are illegal to do in Wailoa, but we've been trying and it's a <br /> problem and we have been trying to come up with creative ways, to address these issues. <br /> For us Talapia is a big issue, but to us the Konda mullet is a bigger issue. We see it like <br /> that as it is an active competition with the stripe mullet AmaAma,the more desirable one. <br /> And the problem with the Konda doesn't get big and even if you were to throw net on it <br /> the legal eye size of the net is generally too big to catch that Konda mullet. We've been <br /> brainstorming some ideas and when others, for example some fishpond caretakers in <br /> Keaukaha, they have problems with Konda they call on me and we do eradication for <br /> them. And we go out there with our smaller nets and we use to sample and study the <br /> estuary, and we catch the Konda mullet, and we give it to them. They cook it up and eat <br /> 27 <br />
