New Rules for Maui

New rules effective Nov. 1, 2014 for Maui Divers and Fisherman.  Goat fish size and bag limits
Hawaii Administrative Rules chapter 13-95.1 sets new bag and size limits for several popular nearshore fish including kumu and uhu. The new rules will include a bag limit of no more than two uhu per person per day and prohibitions on the take of blue male uhu for the two large species (uhu ‘ele‘ele, and uhu uliuli). There will also be bag limits for these popular goatfish: kumu (no more than one), and moana kea and munu (no more than two).  The rules also set new minimum size limits for the two large uhu species (14 inches), all other uhu species (10 inches), the three large goatfish species: kumu, moano kea, and weke nono (12 inches), and all other goatfish species (8 inches), provided that the take of ‘oama (juvenile weke‘a less than 5 inches in length) is allowed by hook-and-line only.  For more details  More information
