RELATING TO THE TAKING OF MARINE DEPOSITS.

Summary

The bill lets Hawaii’s Department of Land and Natural Resources grant permits to remove sand, dead coral, rocks, soil and other marine deposits from state waters for research, education, management or propagation. Permit holders must return the material to the beach when possible and ensure the activity poses only minimal or negligible environmental risk. It creates a legal pathway that previously did not exist.
