Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes — June 20, 2016 I'm gonna take your offer up — could you please contact me because I need to talk to you about my side of the story, Kaupulehu and this marine reserve, you know, by definition that they gonna put forward in Kona. And I just wanted to say one thing about Kona — Kona is unique place, I mean, you know, I don't know if you heard about the Blueprint Habitat — there's gonna be four in the world and West Hawaii was named one of it and, you know, I just don't to see Kona, you know, becoming just an aquarium because we also, you know, you know, we're the marlin capital of the world. I mean we have good fishing here and like I'm mainly talking about pelagic fish, you know, I'm very concerned about the area that you folks are trying to close from 20 to 100 fathoms — that's my main concern but please, if you could contact me or give me your phone number — I just want like a half an hour of your time. CY: Mr. Abe I'm in the phone book. You'd probably best to call about 4:30 tomorrow — I'm very busy during the day — but I'd be happy to talk to you late in the afternoon.
