Born and raised in the islands, and I am concerned about the overfishing both for consumption, and for profit. While 1 understand the need to make a living, if we do not control the harvesting of our oceans, it will lead to extinction. It is my hopes that harvesting our oceans for the aquarium trade be extremely controlled and limited. If they concentrate their efforts into raising stock, instead of harvesting, this might have a different. effect. Mahalo for the opportunity! Cornm. Plop- ��� -l� ft:.f. To: 11 /��I�LI SC, Ref.
