HI HR35

State offices, educational entities, and recreational facilities are urged to use Hawaiian names as the sole common names for local flora and fauna, with examples including "akule" for full-grown fish and "halalū" for smaller fish.

When scientifically necessary, Hawaiian names should be followed by internationally recognized Latin names (e.g., naupaka, Scaevola taccada).

Safety warnings should include Hawaiian names alongside English names when applicable, and incorporate names in multiple languages to show concern for tourist and resident communities.

Government employees are encouraged to learn proper Hawaiian pronunciation using resources like wehewehe.org and to include proper ʻokina and kahakō marks in written use of flora and fauna names.

Local media, private schools, tourism industry, and the general public are encouraged to adopt these practices; additional research should be conducted to recover lost Hawaiian terms and develop names for newly identified or introduced species.
