It has been a very difficult time for the fishing industry.  Inouye and Steven did have their faults and the trafficking in human being was and is undeniable.  The Magnuson-Steven Act which was supposed to protect people and do go science to promotes sustainable fisheries was hijacked by the industry.  Kitty Simmonds has been a very destructive force in the industry.  The fact that it was done so openly lend the air of legitimacy to it.  It was never done right.  You have often heard the native Hawaiian complaining about fishing or lack thereof.  Rightly so, they were systematically let out of the narrative. The plot was diabolical and filled the pockets of the greedy.  Why do you think Ahi is twenty five dollar a pound at Christmas and the New Year?  Just coincidence....probably not.
