A proposal to hike mooring fees for users of both permanent and temporary moorings has been fine-tuned a few times before members of the state Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the proposal, said Ron Agor, Kaua'i and Ni'ihau BLNR representative. As a result, temporary mooring fees will increase 20 percent, he said.

The complicated fee system covers Nawiliwili, Kukui'ula, Port Allen and Kikiaola small boat harbors on Kaua'i, as well as Hanalei Bay during the summer months. The law requires mooring fees to be sufficient to cover the operating costs of the small-boat harbors, according to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
