It acknowledges the Navy’s role as the principal caretaker of Pearl Harbor's waters and shoreline, invoking a commitment to address ecological concerns while ensuring the preservation of native ecosystems.
Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 78 (HCR78) encourages the United States Navy to take responsibility for the eradication of invasive species, specifically octocoral, from the waters of Pearl Harbor, including West Loch, Middle Loch, and East Loch.

It emphasizes the need for a strong and unified response to manage and mitigate the impact of these invasive species.
