Environment & Land

Hawaii's natural environment shapes every aspect of island life, from the reef systems that protect coastlines to the watersheds that supply drinking water. The Department of Land and Natural Resources oversees conservation districts, wildlife management, and coastal permitting, while the Environmental Council advises the Governor on statewide policy. Decisions in this space affect residents who fish, farm, hike, or simply depend on clean water — and they happen in public meetings open to anyone who wants to weigh in.
