The Holoholo Fisher “Talk Story” sessions are hosted by the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), and were first initiated in 2021 as an effort to increase outreach, education, and dialogue between DAR and the fishing community. These meetings focus on a wide range of fishing related topics ranging from fisheries management, opportunities, threats, issues, science, and
technology. DAR continues to hold these talk story sessions regularly to encourage dialogue between State managers and the fishing community to discuss fishing related topics. These meetings are held either statewide or island-based depending on the purpose and objectives of the meeting.

DAR is hosting an upcoming Holoholo Fisher “Talk Story” session for the island of Kaua‘i on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Brief updates will be provided on the following items:

-Hā‘ena Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) 5 year review
