Subject: Testimony in Strong Support of Bill 167
ATTN: Chair Maile David, Co-Chair Aaron Chung, and members of the County of Hawaii's Council
If only sunscreens available,are reef friendly then that is what people will use. If other non-reef friendly options are
available at a lower price and people are not educated on the harm then there is a good chance they will use the
cheaper option especially when on a quick vacation. Let's give them the options to help the oceans.
Healthy coral reefs protect Hawaii'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 strong support of Bill 167.
