LIHUE — A free ocean-users workshop is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 30 at King Kaumualii Elementary School, part of a statewide series presented to the public by staff from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement, Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, and Fisheries.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Marine Sanctuaries Act and the Lacey Act are not new federal laws. The workshops are an opportunity to hear from federal officials how to legally interact with protected marine mammals and sea turtles.
The public is invited to learn and ask questions about safe and lawful wildlife viewing and boating around Hawaii’s marine mammals and sea turtles. Whale- and dolphin-watchers, boat captains, ocean-tour operators and other ocean users are encouraged to attend. The workshop is free, doors open at 6 p.m. and the meeting starts at 6:30.
