Subject: I support Bill 167
Dear Chair David, Co-Chair Chung, and Council Members:
I commend and support the effort to make our tourism industry more ecologically sustainable. Please follow the
example set by Maui County and vote YES to Bill 167.
Kelly King said, and I agree, "Non-mineral sunscreens are an aggressive pollutant. Our coral reefs are our
first defense against erosion from sea level rise and, in addition to the threats of climate change and ocean
warming, runoff from storms and development, and seepage-from wastewater injection wells, chemical
sunscreens cause extensive harm to our reef systems and marine life. This ordinance is one important
step toward protecting the health and resilience of our reef and marine life by removing a significant
ecological stressor."
Mahalo for taking action to protect our coastal waters.
