Mahalo for your very thorough article concerning expansion of Papahanaumokuakea.  Hopefully public vetting of this process for expansion will occur.  

You describe quite eloquently what you were taught as a child.  We have many who are here and over use both land and ocean resources...because they were not raised as you were.  Kudos to your mom!

We have a history in this state of fishing and sharing with others based on cultural values that you describe.  Out of state long shore fishermen and the military want to be exceptions to these values.  The military has rights because they are the military.  Unfortunately, "repair" occurs after military testing, etc.
