Photo courtesy Aquaculture Development Program in commercial fisheries and aquaculture; aquatic resources protection, enhancement and education; and recreational fisheries. Major program areas include projects to maximize commercial fishery and aquaculture productivity, protecting native and resident aquatic species and their habitat, and providing facilities and opportunities for recreational fishing consistent with the interests of the state. DAR also issues fishing licenses. DLNR/DAR rules for protection and propagation of aquatic life may include fisheries management tools such as size limits, bag limits, open and closed seasons, fishing gear, and type of bait. 452 DLNR, Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation 453 (DBOR) administers ocean recreation and coastal areas programs (exclusive of commercial harbors), including 21 small boat harbors, 54 launching ramps, 13 offshore mooring areas, ten designated ocean water areas, 108 designated ocean recreation management areas, navigational aids, and beaches encumbered with easements in favor of the public. DOBOR registers small vessels under five tons; vessels over five tons are registered by the U.S. Coast Guard. All boats must be registered annually except: a recreational vessel holding a valid U.S. Coast Guard marine document; a manually propelled recreational vessel (kayak, canoe); a recreational vessel eight feet or less in length propelled solely by sail; or motorboats used exclusively for racing. DOBOR self-supports via user fees, vessel registration fees, marine fuel taxes, and boating property rental income deposited into a boating special fund. DLNR, Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement 454 (DOCARE) is the enforcement branch of DLNR. Granted full police powers, DOCARE enforces state laws regarding aquatic life and wildlife areas, coastal zones, Conservation Districts, and shores, as well as county ordinances involving county parks. The division also enforces laws relating to firearms, ammunition, and dangerous weapons. DLNR, Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands 455 (OCCL) oversees approximately 2 million acres of private and public lands that lie within the state’s land use Conservation District. OCCL is responsible for overseeing beach and marine lands out to the seaward extent of the state’s jurisdiction. 91
DLNR/State Historic Preservation Division 458 (SHPD) The division’s three branches (history and culture, archaeology, and architecture) are charged with maintaining an Inventory of Historic Properties and preserving the physical reminders of Hawai‘i’s past. DLNR/Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission 456 (KIRC) manages the Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve (which includes the island and the waters within two miles of its shores) while it is held in trust for a future Native Hawaiian sovereign entity. The KIRC uses federal funds designated for state responsibilities in its restoration efforts. DBEDT/Hawai‘i Coastal Zone Management Program/Marine and Coastal Zone Advocacy Council 457 (MACZAC) Since 2001, MACZAC’s twelve advisory members from Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Maui, Moloka‘i, La – na‘i, and Hawai‘i have offered their expertise (in business, the environment, Native Hawaiian practices, terrestrial and marine commerce, recreation, research, and tourism) to projects such as mapping of coastal parking access and recommendations regarding shoreline certification, commercial boating regulations, harbor facilities, ocean resource management, and cultural resource management. Department of Transportation – Harbors Division is the permitting agency for those seeking to operate from a state commercial harbor. Beach-based operators may need permits from the respective county, as well as meeting federal and state requirements. Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture Development Program 459 (ADP) supports the burgeoning aquaculture industry, both freshwater and saltwater, creating further self-sufficiency for the islands as well as opening viable export industries. State Department of Health 460 (DOH), similar in function to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, implements and enforces the state’s environmental laws, as well as federal laws delegated to the state. County health officials and police officers enforce environmental laws. 461 DOH/Office of Environmental Quality Control and the Environmental Council 462 (OEQC) advises the governor and coordinates and directs state agencies as to environmental quality control matters, as well as implements the state’s Environmental Impact Statement law. 463 The Environmental Council is a fifteen-member citizen board affiliated with OEQC, which serves as a liaison between the public and the director of OEQC. 92
