Subject: Protect our Reefs Bill 167, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 OF THE HAWAII
COUNTY CODE 1983 (2016 EDITION, AS AMENDED), BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE RELATING
TO PROHIBITION OF NON-MINERAL SUNSCREEN Dear Council and concerned citizens,
Healthy coral reefs protect our island's coastal infrastructure,beaches,and community.The chemical compounds contained in non-
mineral sunscreen inhibit coral growth and degrade the integrity of our reefs.The purpose of this ordinance is to preserve the health,
safety,and welfare of humans and the environment,by allowing only mineral sunscreens to be provided,sold,offered for sale,or
distributed in the County.I ask for your strong support.
Mahalo,
