Hawaiian Aquarium Fisheries

There is debate going on in the Hawaiian Islands about regulating the fisheries.

With the notable exception of a five-year-old regulation project along the Big Island's Kona Coast, a $50 permit allows collectors across most of Hawaii to net as many of a species as they want, wherever they want and whenever they want. That sometimes means harvesting hundreds of thousands per year of a single species from a single bay.

Yikes!!! I'd say that it needs to be regulated better than that...
