KUA Advocacy at the Hawaiʻi State Legislature 2025

As we prepare for the 2026 Legislative Session, we reflect on some of last year’s efforts including championing certain bills, of which two became law: Act 71 establishing ʻōpaeʻula as state shrimp, and Act 96 creating a “green fee” for environmental stewardship. We also celebrated Opening Day with some of our network members, and helped organize Pilina Kanaloa Ocean Day at the Capitol.
