HONOLULU -- (Business Wire)
The
Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR)Division
of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) has launched an online
permitting site for vendors to register and purchase commercial
vessel landing (such as kayak tours) permits to DLNR’s offshore island
wildlife sanctuaries. Permits are required by law to land any
business-oriented vessel at the regulated sanctuaries. This online
service will initially allow purchase of landing permits at two
Windward Oahu offshore island sanctuaries, the islets of Mokulua and
Popoia.
“The new permitting site provides better access to our services for
commercial vendors, and helps us monitor the number of landings a day,
to protect the natural beauty of Hawaii’s wildlife sanctuaries for
future generations,” said DOFAW Administrator Lisa Hadway. “We hope by
automating the permitting process, we will better serve our vendors and
encourage them to comply with DLNR regulations by making it easier to
report and purchase landings. It is also a way for the public to get
information about the program and see where the money goes in preserving
Hawaii’s lands.”
Commercial vessel vendors can visit https://dofaw.eHawaii.gov/permitting/
to register for an online account. Upon approval, applicants will be
notified by email to include permission to access the permitting system
at any time.
The online commercial vessel-permitting site is created in partnership
with Hawaii
Information Consortium, LLC, the official Internet portal manager of eHawaii.gov.
