Please be advised-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.
