Resolution
WHEREAS, in an address before the Second International Aquaculture
Nutrition Conference at the Unversity of Delaware in Rehoboth on
October 28, 1981, Senator Spark M. Matsunaga proposed that part of the
$2 billion national school lunch program include fish, which is an
aquaculture product having high protein, and thus improve the health of
children and ultimately the strengthening of the budding aquaculture
industry; and
WHEREAS, after an 18 -month study, the First National Aquaculture
Development Plan mandated by the Agricultural Policy Act of 1980, a piece
of legislation co-sponsored by Senator Matsunaga, has revealed the
potential of producing nutritious -high protein fish with less cost as
compared to animal protein presently being consumed by the people; and
WHEREAS, Senator Spark M. Matsunaga announced that he will introduce
an amendment to the agriculture -oriented "Food for Peace" Act calling for
support of aquaculture research and technical training for developing
nations; and
WHEREAS, Senator Matsunaga cites that the State of Hawaii',s
achievement in the research and technology aspects within our aquaculture
industry is recognized and will be able to make contributions in the
development of this budding industry.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII
that it supports amending the "Food for Peace" Act calling for
aquaculture research and technical training for developing nations to
become self-reliant, also making aquaculture products such as fish a part
of the school lunch program and commends Senator Spark M. Matsunaga for
his concern for our children and especially those children of the
