Fishermen's Rally at the Capitol


Fishermen Rally on Monday Dec 28

4-6 PM @ State Capitol

 

Last week the DLNR passed a new administrative rule to ban overnight fishing and camping on Kapapa Island. DLNR painted fishermen as seabird killers in order to collect kayak user fees from tourists visiting the offshore islands. DLNR is also trying to cast fishermen out of Kaena Point in order to collect camping fees from tourists. Because the Land Board does not regulate DLNR, we are losing one fishing spot after the other quickly and at a statewide level! We must tell the DLNR to stop restricting overnight fishing and camping whenever they want. We need to shout out loud to DLNR:

Don’t mess with fishermen anymore!!!

Your presence is crucial to send a clear message to DLNR that fishermen are tired of being the scapegoat and will not stand for it anymore.
