Mr. Apo, 
The anti expansion rhetoric you are buying into ignores the fact that the industrial longliners are the only ones really affected by the expansion -- which means only the fish auction in Honolulu (i.e. unaffordable fancy restaurants and foreign buyers) would be impacted.  Neighbor island fishers and local seafood businesses would not be affected, Kauai fishers would benefit with no longliners up north.

p.s. guess who is  exempt from minimum wage/labor laws and exploits foreign workers for pennies on the dollar (google "Micronesians Claim they were abandoned honoluluadvertiser") & deployed "a record 45.4 million hooks in 2012, up 3.1 million hooks from 2011 (Table 1, Fig. 3). The number of hooks has increased every year since 1994, except in 2009 and 2010. . . In 2012, the Hawaii longline fleet caught a record 159,787 bigeye tuna (Table 1, Fig. 4) [and] caught 64,481 sharks and kept just 2% of them (Table 1, Fig. 6)."
