Hawaii SB561 allocates funds for equipment to support the Oahu branch of the division of conservation and resources enforcement of the department of land and natural resources. The bill aims to address the degradation of coral reefs around Oahu, which are among the most degraded in Hawaii due to poor land use practices and rising ocean temperatures. The funds will be used for maritime enforcement patrol vessels, patrol watercrafts, vehicles, radios, night-vision devices, drones, surveillance trailers, and license plate recognition camera systems.
