DLNR and WESPAC continue to spin the tale for the benefit of commercial extraction–it changes daily but always looks & sounds the same. Governor Ige's own department (DLNR) is charged with the protecting Hawaii reefs for ALL Hawaii people...yet it's chief executives are aquarium permit holders, collectors & "scientists" with a vested interest in the continuation of reef wildlife trafficking for $$$. DLNR continues to serve a handful of individuals despite an overwhelming majority in favor of ending the trade...the fox watches the henhouse. Hawaii reefs are a public trust for ALL Hawaii people, not a handful of collectors who ship out Hawaii's reefs daily for profit. Hawaii's Legislators got it right this time, calling out DLNR for it's continued mismanagement of Hawaii reefs. This bill represents pono politics and reef kuleana, not a political agenda. Hawaii's reefs aren't for sale to the highest bidder and the aquarium trade is not sustainable. Urge Gov. Ige to sign SB1240.
