Last fishing village in Hawaii keeps its title as new rules are adopted

Milolii on the southwest coast of Hawaii Island is known as the “Last Fishing Village in Hawaii.”

And it will keep that title thanks to new rules adopted Thursday by the State Board of Land and Natural Resources.

In 2005, the legislature named Milolii Hawaii’s first “Community Based Subsistence Fishing Area” and since then, the state’s been working on rules to preserve the resources.

The rules include:

Size and/or bag limits
Seasonal restrictions for certain fish
No-take policies of certain fish
No commercial aquarium fishing
And specific gear and species restrictions within several sub-areas within the broader CBSFA boundary

The new rules are intended to protect species and ensure high-quality fishing can continue.

“This has been a long road for the people of Milolii,” said BLNR Chair Suzanne Case.
