Most people know that supporting overfishing is Wespac's trademark.  Funny that you blame the Asians when 2/3rd of the longline boats fishing out of Hawaii are owned by Asians.  Let me explain the economics of the expansion.  There will be no economic impact because the areas currently producing 95% of the longline catch will remain open under the expansion and the remaining 5% can be caught in the same expansive area.  Most if not all large vessels, including longliners are not gas guzzlers, they use marine diesel engines.  There is no such thing as government overreach.  The US federal government has controlled Hawaii's EEZ from the day international agreements established EEZs.  Your rhetoric is much too weak to take seriously.
