WHEREAS, the Department of Land and Natural Resources is authorized under section 199-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to employ or appoint and remove personnel and enforcement officers of the conservation and resources enforcement program including enforcement officers on a voluntary basis and without pay, as well as to provide them with suitable badges or insignia of the Department; and
WHEREAS, special events, such as yacht and canoe races, are held periodically on waters under the jurisdiction of the Department of Land and Natural Resources; and
