The Hawaii State legislature is introducing a bill this week, HB 2154, that calls for a total shut down of the tropical aquarium fish fishery in Hawaii.
The fact is that study after study has concluded aquarium fishing is sustainable and has no appreciable impact on the environment, as Governor Ige rightly concluded when he vetoed Senate Bill 1240 last year.
Hawaii’s battered fishermen who target live fish for the aquarium trade may all be heading to Pu’uhonua—the Place of Refuge—given yet another fresh round of legislation designed to sunset the aquarium fishery.
Guest commentary from PIJAC’s Mike Bober on the recent battle over Hawaii’s SB 1240, a bill designed to sunset the aquarium fishery.
The governor took substantial time to understand all sides of this issue, especially the lack of scientific support for SB1240 and the risk to his constituents’ jobs.
