The FAD system is very good news,after our meeting last month the FADS in fact were <br /> put in place. So,all FADS that were missing on Hawaii Island and on Maui were put in <br /> place which was a real win. <br /> Kapaleihu on the west side,an update. Kapaleihu wants anyone who is fishing on <br /> Kapaleihu to have a permit. And they're going to have to register and they're also <br /> going to have to abide by Kapaleihu catch rules. So,this is now in the works, but <br /> that's kind of what they want. Holumua,the DAR division Aquatic Resource is <br /> starting to hold new community meetings. They're going to be meetings around the <br /> island,and they will be looking for public input on ocean near shore,one mile to 3 <br /> miles on shoreline access and then also what the take limits are going to be. <br /> Fish report: It looks like a normal year.Those Kona storms brought in, north currents <br /> and brought fish in so it's looking like a normal year ono overrunning in mahimahi, <br /> and marlin around so it's looking better than the last few years. <br /> That's all I have from District 1.Thank you. <br /> TWC Taysen Wong Chong for my report. I reached out to Parks and Rec supervisor for <br /> help. Robert Duerr reached out too. We're gonna try and get Isles going on,we have <br /> safety reasons and a possible re-asphalt for the parking lot. Permit wise, it's gonna <br /> take time. I shared that instead of portable toilets, is there a possibility of new <br /> bathrooms due to the old water lines. But it's just the maintenance because of how <br /> many years it's been around and funding issues. But to me I think it'd be a great <br /> representation,especially for Hilo Bay heiau site location. I feel it'd be a better site <br /> to see bathrooms vs portable toilets with safe access for the fishermen and the <br /> public.They removed the bars that had the original wooden structures for the fishing <br /> poles.There are currently cement pillars with fishing cohorts that were installed. I <br /> believe it was 9 pillars.When I met up with the supervisor,they were dealing with the <br /> DAR Aquatics because DLNR owns the last 2 feet of the harbor. So,to etch out the <br /> edge that provides a water runoff because right now when it rains, it's actually a <br /> flood zone over therein the parking lot. They're battling with that issue. I also talked <br /> with Aquatics Division with DLNR about possibly making another public eradication <br /> like how they did a few years ago for Tilapia. Problem that they have in Wailoa as well <br /> as a possible netting for the Australian mullets. That number I had received. Why <br /> it's invasive is I believe was 9 Australian mullet per native mullet.So,that's actually <br /> a big number for how invasive that species is.So, they're looking into how it could <br /> be,as far as for that eradication. Like with a netting project on how it would be safe <br /> to catch just the non-native species. <br /> Pigs hunting, no changes,so lately I've been getting reports Kamana Hilo that over <br /> 12 pigs. non-ethical hunters. Out of those twelve,three of them were back trapped, <br /> taken.The rest of the body was there. The other ones were probably killed just for a <br /> picture and left to rot on the side of the road. <br /> 3 <br />
