Marine and Coastal Zone Advocacy Council (MACZAC)
Ke Kahu O Na Kumu Wai
Chapter 205A-3.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes clarifies the lead agency's (Office of Planning) responsibility to maintain a public advisory body (MACZAC). The body is composed of twelve advisory members recruited from the Islands of Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Maui, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i, and Hawai‘i, who have diverse backgrounds in business, environment, native Hawaiian practices, terrestrial and marine commerce, recreation, research, and tourism. MACZAC’s mission statement is: “Advocate for a comprehensive management system which restores, preserves and protects Hawaii’s marine and coastal environment.” Since its founding in 2001, MACZAC has worked on the mapping of coastal parking access and recommendations regarding shoreline certification, commercial boating regulations, harbor facilities, integrated ocean resource management, cultural resources management, coastal water quality, coastal carrying capacity, marine managed areas, regulatory review, legislative advocacy, public education and outreach, as well as many other marine and coastal issues in Hawaii.
