Seems like quota limits are more of a suggestion than actual rules. I don't understand the idea that the Pacific ocean is just one big fish bowl, and how taking tuna from Hawaii rather than CNMI wouldn't have an effect on local populations. It seems to me that this is more about money than long-term sustainability. We can't go back and replace something once it is gone. Perhaps we should stretch that quota out over the entire year rather than raiding the ocean and depleting it mid-year. Mahalo for another great article Nathan!
