Thanks for the information and history lesson. It important to also note that there are 7.4 billion people on the planet now. Ancient management practices of an isolated people in an archipelago may not apply. As a planet we are already way behind on conservation of natural resources. I reluctantly have to point out that most people in my profession ( fishermen included) are not in the business to feed people but to make money. The money quotient is also a contributing factor to why Hawaii imports most of its food. It's just simply cheaper, easier and more profitable to get it elsewhere. Don't worry about your long line fisher buddies, as the saying goes " there are plenty of fish in the sea", that is for now, but without conservation there may not be.
