How will State and Federal agencies work together to ensure that Monument regulations are enforced?
In accordance with Presidential Proclamation 8031, the State of Hawai‘i has full authority to enforce its regulations for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine Refuge. The Proclamation specifically states that “[n]othing in this proclamation shall be deemed to diminish or enlarge the jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii.” Under the unified permitting process, all three entities must approve any permit issued, and all permits affecting State lands and waters will be considered by the Board of Land and Natural Resources as well as the appropriate DLNR agencies. Under the Draft Monument Management Plan’s Enforcement Action Plan, a strategy is included that would lead to cooperative agreements allowing Federal and State law enforcement officers to enforce the variety of Federal and State statutes that apply within the Monument.
