New online service provides valuable access and
protects the natural beauty of the two offshore island wildlife
sanctuaries
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.
