Designates the pae ula (red shrimp) as the official shrimp of Hawaii.

The bill establishes the pae ula, also known as the red shrimp, as the official shrimp of the State of Hawaii. This designation aims to raise awareness about the pae ula and support efforts to protect anchialine pool ecosystems, which are considered culturally sacred and special in Hawaii. The pae ula is endemic to Hawaii's anchialine pools and its population is an important indicator of the health of these ecosystems. The bill ensures that the designation does not prevent or impact the traditional practice of harvesting pae ula for use in pelu fishing.
