Not only do 1 support the above bill, but I also am for a moratorium on fish collecting in Hawaiian waters. I have been corning to the islands to snorkel and scuba dive for several years and have witnessed the decline of the reef fish populations. I think about what a great draw this resource has on tourism. I also imagine what the islands would be like without a healthy fish population. A five year moratorium could do wonders. One critical part of tile bigger picture is to pass Bill 318. Jim Harrold Mahalo for the opportunity! https://webmail.hawaiicounty.gov/owa/ 8 2014 11/17/2014
