Protect reef fish•Commentary in support of SB505 by Damien Kenison

Posted on February 1, 2023 by Ginger Gohier

Why must our lawai‘a and their ‘ohana suffer for the wrongs that the collectors have perpetrated upon our fishing grounds? One pakuikui to feed a family of four is a shame. I hope people of goodwill will support this bill. Lawmakers should stop this destructive practice before our mo‘opuna forget how to catch and eat reef fish.

What’s in a Name?

KUA means back. Like a backbone that connects and supports. Kuaʻāina are the grassroots, rural peoples of Hawaiʻi nei. Ulu means to grow. ‘Auamo is the carrying stick held on multiple shoulders of laborers who shared the burden of carrying something of great weight forward. By taking up the ‘auamo, our kuaʻāina communities share the sacred responsibility, or kuleana, to better Hawaiʻi.
