It is a shame that there has to be a law for humane treatment but it is obvious that this bill is needed. We need to protect our fragile coast line. If for no other reason, tourists come to Hawaii for our pristine waters. The practice is to over fish to make up for the percentage of fish that die. We are allowing depletion of one of our greatest assets. I wish aquarium fishing was banned completely but short of that at least make sure the fish that are taken are treated humanely. Thank you Mahalo for the opportunity! https://webmail.hawaiicounty.gov/owa/ r � s S � 4 esc. ;x J . Dcte_ OV-1 14 11/17/2014
