Urges the County of Hawaii and City and County of Honolulu to ban the sale, rental, and distribution of disposable bodyboards to protect marine.

This bill urges the County of Hawaii and City and County of Honolulu to adopt ordinances banning the sale, rental, and distribution of disposable bodyboards. These bodyboards, often made of polystyrene, can disintegrate into plastic foam that pollutes reefs, shorelines, and marine ecosystems. Similar bans have already been adopted by Maui County and Kauai County to protect their marine environments. The resolution aims to reduce waste, support responsible tourism, and promote a smaller environmental footprint across the state.
