I strongly oppose any relaxation of the fishing regulations, protecting the
leatherback and loggerhead turtles.
Could we not protect all wildlife before their numbers become so low that they
have to be declared endangered or threatened? If the long-line fishing practices in
Hawaii push these magnificient animals toward extinction then maybe we must
reduce them further or ban them altogether instead of thinking about how many
more we can kill before they go extinct.
