Hawaii SB2426 expands the use of mineral-based sunscreen dispensers at state beaches to protect coral reefs.

Hawaii SB2426 aims to expand the use of mineral-based sunscreen dispensers at all state beaches to reduce chemical impact on coral reefs. The bill authorizes the Department of Land and Natural Resources to partner with private entities for maintenance and management of these dispensers. It also allocates $100,000 for installation and operation of the dispensers. The legislation seeks to address concerns about limited stock of reef-safe sunscreens and further protect Hawaii's coral reefs from harmful chemicals.
