Aloha County Council,
My name is Allen Lino. I am a retired state employee and fisherman out of Pohoiki. Through the 80's, and
90's I fished out of Pohoiki while also working Rill time for the State of Hawaii,DOT.Pohoiki is what
helped me subsidize my income to help better support my `ohana. I grew up fishing/gathering with my Dad
and brothers. As I became a father myself,I realized the importance of teaching my daughters how to gather
for their own`ohana and perpetuate their birthright. One of my daughters is a fisherwomen and married a
commercial fisherman out of Pohoiki.I cannot express the importance of having Pohoiki Boat Ramp
immediately available for fishermen. Whether it's to open the old ramp or to rebuild on the new flow in
front of what used to be dead trees,the ramp is needed now.
Thank you for your time,
Allen Lino
