RELATING TO SUSTAINABILITY.

Requires the Department of Land and Natural Resources to recognize that game mammals and game birds, managed in appropriate areas, can provide sustainable food sources that merit quality habitats with sufficient food, water, and refuge to support viable populations sufficient for hunting; provided that negative impacts to the environment are sufficiently minimized or offset through native ecosystem protections; that proper management of game populations in appropriate areas minimizes or reduces impacts to agriculture, important watershed areas, and native habitats, and provides certain benefits; and that the State's unique relationship with the ocean requires careful consideration and management of land and ocean activities that prioritize the public trust responsibilities of the State. Requires each department, office, or agency of the State to update its rules and policies to integrate the local hunting and fishing industries into any food security or sustainability strategies that department, office, or agency employs. Requires reports to the Legislature. Effective 7/1/2050. (SD2)
