HRS Chapter 183D regulates wildlife generally, and HRS 195D-4.5 prohibits taking monk seals, which occasionally haul out on Pearl Harbor-area shorelines. The Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge complex imposes federal rules protecting endangered waterbirds such as the koloa maoli and alae keokeo. Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act govern feeding marine mammals and honu. Honolulu ROH imposes no blanket wildlife-feeding ban. Feral bird or feral cat nuisance enforcement falls under ROH Chapter 7, Article 2.
