[§183B-1] Definitions. As used in this chapter:
"Hawaiian fishponds" means the unique, traditional system and methodology of aquaculture practiced by the aboriginal people of Hawaii, and found nowhere else in the world. Generally referred to as "loko i`a", the system mastered by ancient Hawaiians includes but is not limited to loko kuapa, loko umeiki, and loko pu`uone. Loko i`a are natural or artificial enclosures; loko kuapa are enclosures built upon a reef, loko umeiki are a type of permanent fish-trap structure, and loko pu`uone are enclosed by sand.
The term does not include any fishpond designed in a manner or constructed for purposes other than those associated with traditional loko i`a management and culture. [L 1995, c 177, pt of §2]
