Malama Chun is right on both counts, which may be obvious to most people in Hawaii. Less obvious is a destructive pattern, whereby commercial fishing gets special dispensation. OF NOTE: the Hawaii AG is not elected but appointed, part of the Executive Branch. Gov Ige made great pomp over Hawaii's support for the Paris Climate Accord but his AG ducks behind a technicality with ocean health at stake. The AG showed media courage standing up to Trump, but defers here to "the powers that be." What's the betting line in Vegas that someone affilliated with WESPAC weighed in with someone in Hawaii state government? Technicality and sleight of hand bear down on Hawaii marine species and habitat, in the best interests of WESPAC and The Nature Conservancy, where "eco-based management" should read MAXIMUM COMMERCIAL EXTRACTION BEHIND GREEN SMOKE. The paddle is broken, and so is the rudder. Enough of technical humbug. It's time for pono management, for leadership and political will.
