Residents meet for hearing on boating law changes
WAILUKU, Maui (AP) — Dealing with wild animals at small-boat harbors was among the subjects testifiers addressed during a Hawaii hearing on proposed rule changes to boating laws and rules at small-boat harbors.
Approximately 50 attendees attended a hearing Wednesday at the Velma McWayne Santos Community Center in Wailuku.

Violators could face a fine of up to $1,000 and a jail term of up to 30 days.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation is holding hearings statewide on the rule changes.
