City _... —.. _... _... _..._. State My message to the Committee: Aloha Chair Wille and AWES Committee Members, I support Bill 318 protecting Hawaifs reef wildlife from harmful aquarium trade starvation and insufficient water volume during shipping. The reef fish are an important part ofthe ecosystem. Instead of pillaging and destroying, let's rebuild to restore the fish population and clean up the reefs to provide the fish a safe place to thrive. Once they are thriving then responsible and reasonable fishing practices could be tolerated. But fishing practices the way they have been are not a long term answer for anything good. Mahalo for the opportunity! Comm. No. 40. ( (D Ref. Tor ^� t Ref. Dale FE9 2 0 2015
