Aloha Council Members,
Please support the aquarium trade ban so that we continue to have a balanced ecosystem
with Tots of beautiful fish to attract visitors, feed us, and provide for future generations. Fish for
the aquarium trade should be raised and not taken from the wild.
I'm so sad to hear of the many fish that end up dying in transport for irresponsible human
behavior. In addition, the Maui reefs have less fish and an imbalanced ecosystem. No area of
the shoreline should be allowed for fish collecting. If we put up informational signs at the more
populated beaches, the public would be informed and would be able to report suspicious
behavior.
I would support seed funding and responsible transport, for an aquarium business. Let's
support the aquarium trade and keep the ecosystem healthy for future generations at the same
time.
Mahalo,
Janet and Steve King, daughters Maria and Sundi
