Hawaii SB2084 mandates the Department of Land and Natural Resources to assess and manage the carrying capacity of marine life conservation districts.

Hawaii SB2084 requires the Department of Land and Natural Resources to establish a marine life conservation district carrying capacity program. This program will assess the carrying capacity of marine life conservation districts, evaluate the impact of commercial use, and propose long-term management options. The department must consult with counties, the University of Hawaii, and commercial operators. The program aims to reduce human impact on marine life, building on successful measures in existing districts. The department will submit a report to the legislature in 2027 and 2028.
