Honolulu has no blanket wildlife-feeding ban in the ROH; state HRS 183D and HRS 195D, plus federal marine-mammal laws, govern wildlife, while feral-animal nuisance issues in the city fall under ROH 7-2 Animal Nuisances.
Wildlife feeding in Honolulu is regulated mostly by state and federal law. HRS Chapter 183D addresses wildlife generally, and HRS Chapter 195D protects conservation species, including a specific prohibition on taking monk seals at HRS 195D-4.5. The federal Marine Mammal Protection Act and Endangered Species Act further restrict feeding marine mammals around Oahu shorelines. Unlike Hawaii County's Bill 51 that targets feeding feral animals on county property, Honolulu has no comparable blanket ban in the ROH. Feral and stray animal issues in city neighborhoods are addressed through ROH 7-2 Animal Nuisances, and HRS 322 supports feral-bird nuisance remedies since Act 269 of 2013.
Feeding protected species or marine mammals can draw state or federal wildlife penalties, and creating feral-animal nuisances can trigger ROH 7-2 enforcement in Honolulu neighborhoods.
