URGING THE HONOLULU OCEAN SAFETY DEPARTMENT TO IMPLEMENT A DRONE TRAINING PROGRAM.

This resolution urges the newly established Honolulu Ocean Safety Department to create a drone training program. It cites benefits like improved marine life monitoring, enhanced search-and-rescue operations, and better beach surveillance - similar to the Honolulu Fire Department's existing drone use. The resolution specifically notes the department currently lacks aerial surveillance capabilities despite its mandate to handle ocean safety on Oahu. It does not create new law but formally requests this operational enhancement.
