Nate, you have this story down. There is a problem and Jim Cook knows.  Now, how do we correct it.  I can be fixed.  I am a huge critic of the current system in place... but your story brings hope to the trafficked person and has force acknowledgement and change to begin.  Here are the players that can make the difference,  Representative Kaneiela Ing, State of Hawaii (strong and willing to make changes) Chair of Oceans, Marine Resources and Hawaiian Affairs;  Dr. Bruce Anderson the head of the Department of Aquatic Service (sincere, honest and trustworthy, none better); Jim Cook, industry leader (a good man that has big problems that he seems to want to address) the law has required him to work the corners and it has not been easy for him  In many way I feel sad for Jim but he is in business. The United Fish Agency, (auction) Brooks Takenaka is a decent guy and not a problem they only sell the product that are delivered... they will do what is right every time. This will be fixed.
