Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes — June 20, 2016 have a biologist behind you there and he can look at these things, and we can move forward possibly to try to get this thing re -opened and... TN: I'll make it real short — Chris, 33% from Upolu Point to Kalae — that is Kohala to South Point — 33% are MPAs — Marine Protected Areas and FRAs — Fish Replenishment Area. If the overflow of Kaupulehu is supposed to meet those zoning — why is there a marine reserve — it don't make sense — cause Kaupulehu north and south of the 3.6 mile are not fishing area — they're void. This is according to our Kumu, Michael Lee, a fish replenishment area because of the kanewai from the mountain to ocean [unclear] its nutrients to make that area a fish replenishment area. We don't need a marine reserve... CY: The only other thing I'd like to say, the fish replenishment area — the main controls are that there's not net fishing and there's not aquarium collecting — most types of fishing are allowed in those areas. TL: Chris, we do appreciate, having you with us tonight. I'll try and get in contact with you tomorrow about how we can get these other things together... CY: Sure, any time... Ike: I have one more thing. I really would like to thank you for coming and I would like to have a continuing conversation about how we can fix this, at least, from the point of view of those guys who don't feel like they're part of the process. So... CY: OK. Sure... JB: This is Jonathan Bartsch from Kona. First of all I'd like to thank anybody that gave their time tonight — people behind me that came, you know, anybody that is trying to make it better — that's what we're all here for, obviously, we have differences of opinion, um, what I would — I'd like to thank Mr. Yuen for coming — I wouldn't have done it — he's pretty gutsy — but I would like to know for the people behind and for everybody else — what can we do if we disagree with this — what can be done at this point, um, you know, we don't want anymore wasted breath — we want to know what we can do to actually, do we need to contact the Governor — is there anything else we can do? TL: Well, let's get the documents that they have available and start there and we'll try and get those tomorrow if we can. NA: Mr. Yuen, this is Nathan Abe, I just want to thank you for coming because I think you had a lot of courage for actually coming and listening to us, but 22
