Nainoa Thompson,
Navigator of Hōkūle`a
“It’s time for us to recognize the value of our ocean, and understand that we are in a time of decline. Not long ago, our nearshore waters were carefully managed by konohiki who ensured bountiful resources by setting strict rules with serious consequences. Our native Hawaiian ancestors understood that their relationship with the ocean was an issue of survival. We must rebuild a culture of an ocean community. This will require a partnership among scientists, government, and those who use and love the ocean like I do. It’s about values and responsibility, and is truly a matter of survival.” |

Fishing is key to our island lifestyle and depends on maintaining a healthy
ocean. But our coral reefs and fish populations are in a downward
spiral.
Fair Catch is a campaign to restore Hawaii’s nearshore
ocean by encouraging responsible fishing practices and supporting
actions that protect our reefs and fishes from further decline. |
