Subject: Support for Bill 167

Dear Hawaii County Council Chair Rebecca Villegas, Co-Chair Heather Kimball, and members of the
Committee on Climate Resilience & Natural Management,
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.
This ordinance 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 support of Bill 167.

Thank you for your time,
