Noenoe, you can see that the aina and the kai have been abused.  The vast majority of the abuse is done by industry.  Primarily fishing and agriculture. We can boycott the stores but we also have to stop fertilizer run off, invasive species, and greed.  Also the government cannot allow its regulators to become corrupted.  It licensing and regulatory departments to turn their heads.  We have laws that are not enforced.  New laws must be put in place.  Preserve and protect should be a the top of each citizen mind..  Greed, money and elected officials make for a bad situation that only we as citizens can change.  Thank you for your comments.  The people can make the difference.
