Subject: SUPPORT FOR BILL 167, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 14 of the Hawai'i County Code
1983 (2016 Edition, as amended), By Adding a New Article Relating to Prohibition of Non-
mineral Sunscreen
I am in strong support of Bill 167, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 14 of the Hawai'i County Code 1983 (2016
Edition, as amended), by Adding a New Article Relating to Prohibition of Non-mineral Sunscreen. Healthy
coral reefs protect our island's coastal infrastructure, beaches, and community. The chemical compounds contained in
non-mineral sunscreens inhibit coral growth and degrade the integrity of our reefs. The purpose of this ordinance is to
preserve the health, safety, arid welfare of humans and the environment, by allowing only mineral sunscreens to be
provided, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Hawaii County.
