Mission statement of DLNR:

“Enhance, protect, conserve and manage Hawaii’s unique and limited natural, cultural and historic resources held in public trust for current and future generations of the people of Hawaii nei, and its visitors, in partnership with others from the public and private sectors.” www.dlnr.hawaii.gov

We, the undersigned, support our local fishers and gatherers who regulate outsiders from taking marine life from our reefs and protecting our waters and natural resources. Overfishing, trophy fishing, and the selling of our reef fish for profit will one day lead us to depletion. The purpose of this petition is to raise awareness to our community about DLNR not living up to their mission leaving the locals no other choice. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
