Marine violators will be targeted
Ocean poachers and others who violate state environmental protection laws and rules may face prosecution under a new state program.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources, the attorney general's office, the Hawai'i Coral Reef Initiative and the University of Hawai'i's Environmental Law Program are creating a one-year law fellowship to focus on prosecuting violators of state laws that protect marine resources.
The program will allow the law fellow to work directly with the DLNR's Division of Aquatic Resources. The lawyer will be supervised by the attorney general's staff, and the position will be funded by the Coral Reef Initiative.
