Aloha mai kakou,
My name is Ho`omana Martinez. I am from Hilo and I live at Kailua kona in Hawaiian Homes. I am a 7th grade
student at Ehunuikaimalino. In Science class we learned about the Kumulipo and whats happening to the coral. I am
writing to you today because I heard that BILL 167 is being discussed by the County, and I am writing to ask for your
help of this bill. The reason this bill is important to me is because the some of the sun screen is killing our coral.
Healthy coral reefs help to protect our island community. The chemicals in non-mineral sunscreen inhibit coral growth
and degrade the integrity of our reefs. This bill aims 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 submit my testimony in strong support of Bill 167.
