Subject: In Strong Support of Bill 167
Daar Council Members,
I am in Strong Support of Bill 167. 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.
The passing of this is even more urgent as our own belovedKahalu'u has been designated Mission Blue Hope Spot
. Please watch this video.
Mahalo.
