Board meetings and strategic plans from Hawaii Department of Agriculture
This testimony from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife, addresses a proposed amendment to Interim Rule 26-2 concerning Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) regulations. The document supports the overall intent to prevent CRB spread and allow specific low-risk plant movements to Maui and Lānaʻi. However, it expresses significant concern regarding the proposed language for "designated CRB infested areas," recommending a more comprehensive definition to include all current and future infested areas across the state to prevent ambiguity and ensure robust protection for uninfested islands. The testimony also highlights the critical need for a statewide regulatory program for CRB, raising alarms about the lapse of Molokaʻi's interim rules and emphasizing the importance of permanent protections to safeguard Hawaiʻi's agriculture, native species, and cultural resources.
The Board approved a direct operating loan for a nonprofit farm, authorized the transfer of multiple leases and vacant parcels into the Agricultural Enterprise Program, and approved the assignment of a general lease on Molokai. A request to amend a prior board action regarding land parcels containing a high-hazard dam was deferred pending further information. The Board also reviewed proposed amendments to an interim rule regarding Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle regulations and the movement of host materials; however, the motions to amend failed, and the existing rule remained unchanged.

The board addressed several agricultural and biosecurity matters. Key actions included the approval of emergency loans for farms recovering from recent storm damage and the authorization of right-of-entry agreements for coqui frog control operations. The board managed agricultural land assets, approving a sublease and canceling a lease for park parcels. A significant portion of the meeting focused on biosecurity, specifically the implementation of interim rules to restrict the transportation of Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB) host materials to Maui and Lanai, and the expansion of a designated CRB-infested area. The board also convened an executive session to consult on legal matters regarding these biosecurity measures.
