The Governor's Moloka'i Community Advisory Council will discuss proposed new regulations on the taking of certain nearshore fish at 3 p.m. today at Kulana 'Oiwi, 600 Maunaloa Highway. The public is invited.

Bill Puleloa, aquatic biologist for the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, will discuss possible regulations to protect certain marine fish species.

DLNR is holding public informational meetings statewide to discuss using minimum-size rules to protect harvested resource fish that may be at risk of being over-harvested, and will focus on at least three main fish families that may be in need of updated regulations.

Those species are parrotfish (uhu), goatfish (weke) and jacks (ulua/papio). The Division of Aquatic Resources has not yet drafted the rule changes.

Members of the Governor's Moloka'i Community Advisory Council are Robert Granger, Janice Kalanihuia, Jersula Manaba and Marlene Purdy.
