MAUI FISHERS INVITED TO TALK STORY WITH DLNR CHAIRPERSON

KAHULUI — Maui fishermen are invited to an informal “talk story” session with Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Chairperson William J. Aila, Jr. from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 22, at Maui Waena Intermediate School, 795 Onehee Ave. in Kahului.

This is an opportunity for fishers to share their fishery-related concerns and have questions answered directly by the Chairperson. It will be an informal meeting aimed at allowing open and honest conversations about fishing issues not only in Maui, but throughout the State of Hawaii. Similar talk story sessions have taken place on Oahu and have been well attended.

“It is our hope that we can work with the fishing community to come up with positive solutions to fishing issues in Hawaii.”
