Subject: Bill 167
Aloha Chair Maile David and Co-Chair Aaron Chung and members of the County Council,
Although I am currently not on island I am in Strong Support of Bi11167. 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. Having volunteered with
Kahaluu Bay Education Center many years I personally have witnessed the damage caused by
sunscreens to the Kahaluu Bay and other island 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.
Mahalo for your time, c`?>
