Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – January 29, 2019 <br />TN: I can still be a member of it... We’re limited to nine commission members and <br />we have all these committees and we’re not using it to the full extent that we <br />should because no one takes... <br /> <br />MH: Sorry \[unclear\] order – there’s a motion on the floor – the motion doesn’t have <br />a second so either it fails or the Chair tabled it so... <br /> <br />BKK: So the motion’s tabled for now. Moving on to New Business... <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Shoreline Fishing Registry, Permit, and License (RPL) <br /> <br />BKK: There was a meeting last year at the beginning of the end of last year <br />regarding the RPL and there was various meetings that was held throughout <br />the State by Conservation International. I believe, Teresa, you have a little bit <br />more of report for that. <br /> <br />TN: I was wondering if any of the Commission members attended the RPL Study <br />Group Meeting on November 28 in Kona of 29 in Hilo. Ah, 27 and 28, excuse <br />me... <br /> <br />GH: This is Grayson – District 6 – I did attend the Kona meeting. <br /> <br />TN: Could we have your take on it Grayson? <br /> <br />GH: It was interesting – I didn’t quite understand the intent behind it and I wasn’t <br />clear on who the group was and what their motivations were – so in my mind <br />there seemed to be more questions than answers. <br /> <br />BKK: This is Kalei – were you able to stay for the whole thing? <br /> <br />GH: No, I wasn’t able to stay to the very end. <br /> <br />TN: I went to both meetings in Kona and Hilo and my views recently on this study <br />group – Conservation International – that was held in Kona and it seems that <br />their goal was to have their specific outcome and they did not give the fishing <br />communities the right of choice – not to support the issue of recreational <br />fishing registry and permit and license. At both meetings – in Kona and Hilo – <br />it was very apparent that their goal was to create invisible chaos and not have <br />transparency in their strict control methodology to have a specific outcome <br />and a take away the rights for audience to have the freedom of choice <br />including their rights to say no, we do not agree. The presenters were smart <br />and intelligent and enough to do their devious ploy and make their smart <br />invisible attach to divide the audience into less smaller groups and make <br />them argue amongst themselves. We needed to shift the perspective of this <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
