Trying to close Sharks Cove to commercial operations

[scubadrewvideo]

Aloha fellow divers,
The North Shore Neighborhood Board recently voted to close the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District (sharks cove to Waimea) to commercial operations and lift the ban on Akule fishing.
Akule fishing is shore casting with a whipping motion and is currently allowed at Waimea beach for those who don't know.
They are submitting this vote result to the DLNR in effort to have the regulations changed.

We as divers, commercial operators or not, need to be heard on this matter! Unless you want to find more tangled turtles and increase your chances of getting snagged while diving out of the elevator!

If you wish to help wih this, please email the DLNR attention Peter Young -Director

We just need to let the DLNR know that the fisherman on the north shore aren't the only ones with a voice.

That's the suckiest suck that ever sucked! We need more MLCDs not less!

Drew, where did you hear this?

What we need is to stop those people from netting schools of fish. I fish from shore. I spear fish. I scuba dive. All I have to say is that Nets suck.
