     Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred H.B. No. 850 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FISHING,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to implement traditional fishery management practices for the regulation of fishing and gathering to promote the sustainable use of marine resources by establishing a community-based fishery resource management area program and advisory committee for the island of Lana'i.

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Energy & Environmental Protection that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 850, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 850, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Energy & Environmental Protection,
