Scuba Diving off the shores of Oahu and other Hawaiian islands since the early 70's I can easily and sadly attest to the drastic reduction of tropical fish on our reefs.  One can understand Ms. Case's concerns over adequate resources for DLNR to provide proper enforcement given the challenges they appear to have enforcing current regulations.  However, that is a poor excuse for ignoring the large scale reduction of a critical State resource that is the responsibility of DLNR to preserve.
