Public Meetings for the Ocean Resource Management Plan at Kaʻena

The Kaʻena Point Advisory Committee will be calling a public meeting to present their recommendations to the Land Board regarding the Kaʻena Point State Park Reserve. The meeting is currently set to be held on the North Shore in July (date still
pending). There will be maps and information posted on the Kaena Point
website as well as the ability to post public comments for those who
won't be able to attend the meeting. An official announcement about
the public meeting will be sent out in mid-May or sooner. Will keep you updated on the dates - we are hoping for a big public turn out!

Harrassment of Fishermen Continues

ALOHA TO ALL YOU FISHERMEN AND YOUR FAMILIES,

THIS IS AN ALERT!

LETTING YOU ALL KNOW THAT YES,THE TWO ARE AT IT AGAIN. THIS PAST WEEKEND(APRIL3,2010).
AT MOKULEIA AND KA'ENA POINT STATE PARK.

HEADS UP AND WATCH YOURSELVES. THEY ARE HITTING FISHERMEN WITH THE CAMPING PARAPHERNALIA RULE. CONFISCATED POP UP CANOPIES REGARDLESS IF IT WAS RAINING. TWO FISHERMEN HAVE TO APPEAR IN WAHIAWA DISTRICT COURT ON MAY 27(THURSDAY).

REMEMBER THE GAME WARDEN CAN CLAIM ANY ITEM AS CAMPING PARAPHERNALIA BECAUSE OF THE WORD "OTHER" IN THE RULE.

JUST WANTED YOU ALL TO KNOW. SPREAD THE WORD!

WE ARE ALL FIGHTING THE SAME "CAUSE". TO BE ALLOWED TO FISH OVERNIGHT WITH PROTECTED FISHING GEAR. THE RULE APPLIES TO ANYONE ON THE STATE PARK/BEACH ONE HOUR AFTER SUNSET TO SUN UP. SO LET US FORGET OUR PERSONAL DIFFERENCES AND STAND UNITED IN OUR FIGHT FOR OUR TRADITIONS AND CULTURE TO CONTINUE.
