(ii) Restrictions: The same restrictions and exceptions thereto applicable to Zone A are applicable to Zone B.(3) Ingress/Egress zones.(i) These zones shall be established at intervals along the shoreline to provide beach access, through corridors, for all vessels governed by this chapter. Each zone shall be five hundred feet wide at the shoreline and shall extend seaward for a distance of five hundred feet. Zone number one begins at the point where the north bank of Wahikuli Stream intersects the vegetation line; then northward along the vegetation line for a distance of five hundred feet.
Zone number two begins at a point on the vegetation line which is two thousand three hundred feet north along the vegetation line from a point where the north bank of Wahikuli Stream intersects the vegetation line; then northward along the vegetation line for a distance of five hundred feet.
Zone number three begins at a point on the vegetation line which is two thousand four hundred feet south along the vegetation line from the mean high water mark of the southernmost tip of Keka'a Point shoreline; then southward along the vegetation line for a distance of five hundred feet.
Zone number four begins at a point on the vegetation line which is seven hundred fifty feet south along the vegetation line from the mean high water mark from the southernmost tip of Keka'a Point shoreline; then southward along the vegetation line for a distance of five hundred feet.
Zone number five begins at a point on the vegetation line which is eight hundred twenty-five feet north along the vegetation line from the vegetation line from the southernmost tip of Keka'a Point shoreline, then northward along the vegetation line for a distance of five hundred feet.
(ii) No person shall navigate a vessel within an ingress/egress zone unless operating within an ingress/egress corridor, provided that this restriction shall not apply to Hawaiian design club canoes engaged in crew training.(4) Ingress/Egress corridors. (i) These corridors shall be contained within each ingress/egress zone. Each corridor shall be one hundred feet wide and shall be established daily by markers placed by the users of the corridor to determine the best direction for approach to or departure from the shoreline under existing wind and sea conditions.(ii) No person shall: (A) Navigate a commercial vessel or non-commercial motor powered vessel to or from the beach area unless using a designated ingress/egress corridor;(B) Navigate a catamaran, registered for carrying passengers for hire, in an ingress/egress corridor, or approach the shoreline within a distance of five hundred feet, if another catamaran is beached within the boundaries of the intended corridor of use;(C) Beach a catamaran, registered for carrying passengers for hire, in an ingress/egress corridor in excess of thirty minutes; and(D) Navigate a vessel within an ingress/egress corridor at a speed exceeding slow-no-wake.(iii) Exceptions to the restrictions for Ingress/Egress Zones are applicable to Ingress/Egress Corridors.(b) This section shall not apply in the event of an emergency, to law enforcement or rescue craft, or to vessels operating under a valid ocean waters permit issued by the department.[Eff 2/24/94; comp] (Auth: HRS §§ 200-2, 200-3, 200-4) (Imp: HRS §§ 200-2, 200-3, 200-4)
