The state Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources hosts an upcoming meeting on Wednesday Feb. 20, 2019 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Lihikai Elementary School on 335 South Papa Avenue in Kahului.

At this meeting DAR staff will revisit the current Kahului Harbor Fisheries Management Area rules which were established in 2009 and get feedback from fishers and community members about possible rule changes.

It’s been a decade since the department implemented rules that require fishers to check-in, check-out and file catch reports; prohibit most netting; and set updated bag limits.
