Hawaiian Ocean Policy and Regulatory Framework 89
Hawaiian Ocean Policy and Regulatory Framework Hawai‘i’s Natural Resources Laws and Policies The Hawai‘i Constitution serves as a beacon for legislators and regulators in crafting solutions that both stimulate the state’s economic wellbeing and cultural identity while promoting sustainable uses of natural resources. 440 The Hawai‘i Constitution, Article XI, Section 1 states: For the benefit of present and future generations, the state and its political subdivisions shall conserve and protect Hawai‘i’s natural beauty and all natural resources, including land, water, air, minerals and energy sources, and shall promote the development and utilization of these resources in a manner consistent with their conservation and in furtherance of the self-sufficiency of the state. All public natural resources are held in trust by the state for the benefit of the people. 441 Hawai‘i’s Environmental Policy “[encourages] productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment, promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man, and enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the people of Hawai‘i. 442 Findings of the state’s law on conserving aquatic life, wildlife, and land plants detail the legislature’s concern with the potential extinction of plants and animals found only in Hawai‘i, largely the result of human interactions and upset of native ecosystems. 443 “All indigenous species of aquatic life, wildlife, and land plants are integral parts of Hawai‘i’s native ecosystems and comprise the living heritage of Hawai‘i, for they represent a natural resource of scientific, cultural, educational, environmental, and economic value to future generations of Hawai‘i’s people.” The law calls on the state and its agencies to take a proactive approach to enhancing native species’ prospects for survival. 444 More than 1,000 aquatic species are not found anywhere else on earth. 445 State Agencies Overseeing Ocean Management State jurisdiction begins on the shoreline at the upper reaches of the wash of the waves and extends seaward to the limit of the state’s police power and management authority, including the U.S. territorial sea. 446 Generally, state oversight is of the 0-3 nautical mile zone, after which federal jurisdiction extends to the boundary of the 200 nm EEZ. Department of Land and Natural Resources 447 (DLNR) is the lead agency in managing the state’s land and ocean resources, including all water and coastal areas of the state and aquatic life. 448 DLNR is overseen by the Board of Land and Natural Resources, 449 whose members are appointed by the governor. 450 DLNR holds a seat on the Wespac council. DLNR, Division of Aquatic Resources 451 (DAR) manages Hawai‘i’s marine and freshwater resources through programs 90
