The Ledge: Manta Lovers
"The Ledge" is produced by the office of Rep. Hermina Morita. Here's the latest video on Manta Rays:
Representative Denny Coffman, a freshman lawmaker from the Big Island, talks about a pro-active measure he introduced this session that would make it illegal to kill or capture manta rays. Only 154 manta rays have been identified in Kona, Hawaii since 1992. These majestic creatures are susceptible to overfishing and are hunted and killed for their dried gill rakers in order produce traditional Asian medicine. There is no immediate threat to the manta population in Hawaii. However, new demand for manta rays have already threatened local populations in Indonesia, Mexico and the Phillipines. HB366 makes an exception for special permits granted for scientific, education, management and propagation purposes.
The Senate Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture and Hawaiian Affairs will be hearing HB 366 March 18, 2009 at 3 p.m. in conference room 229.

"The Ledge" on YouTube
Each Friday staff from Representative Hermina Morita's office will post to YouTube a new episode of "The Ledge," a video series that will focus on what has happened throughout the week at the Hawaii State Capitol during the 2009 Legislative Session.
Joel Guy, a filmmaker from Kauai’s North Shore who is active in conservation and the perpetuation of Hawaiian culture, joined Morita's office staff this year as a session worker and will film, produce and direct the episodes.
Thus far, three videos have been posted to the YouTube website.
