I am a 14 -year old boy who has lived in Kona Paradise my whole life (except two years). I want to see
Pebble Beach protected from all the collectors who take tangs and other fish from the reef without
limits. Please adopt this resolution. Signed, Kyle K. Jones
Reso. No. 308 -10 urging DLNR to adopt rules presented by the West Hawaii Fisheries Council regarding
tropical fish collection ti `
1. Allows a reef area at Pebble Beach to be closed to aquarium collecting while opening a similarly sized area at
Keauhou for limited collecting by lottery thus maintaining a balanced proportion of open to closed fish collection
areas.
2. Creates a 'white list' of species that can be collected by the aquarium trade (all other species are prohibited),
and a bag limit for large reproductively mature yellow tang.
