WHERE CAN I FISH IN HAWAII?
Guidance on where fishing is allowed/prohibited in Hawaii's waters can be found at hawaii.gov/dlnr/dbor/bor-fishing.htm.
ATTENTION BOATERS AND OCEAN USERS
UH Hilo marine science students and collaborators released sets of wood blocks from locations
around the Big Island the week of 10/24/11. The red blocks are stamped with a message asking people to
report where and when they found the block.This study is investigating a possible link between local sources of plastic marine debris and accumulation
areas such as Kamilo Point. Students are monitoring floating debris retention booms in urban Hilo to quantify the
amount and types of debris washed out of Hilo.Drifter releases nearby will simulate the fate of that debris had it been allowed to enter the ocean.
Simultaneous releases from other locations will help scientists understand debris movement around
the entire island, or possibly to other islands.If you or someone you know finds a block, please report the find to hilodrifter@gmail.com or 808-937-4289.
Include the date and exact location of the find. It is also important to report the number stamped into the side of the
block so that project coordinators can trace your find back to the time and location of release.
NOTICE TO MARINERS FROM FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC PORTS TRAVELING TO THE STATE OF HAWAII
