Thanks for the information.  The Papahanaumokuakea has very little to do with the long line fishery.  And you are correct in your observations. The biological technicians do a great job.  But the Papahanaumokuakea will be expanded very soon.  The biological technicians cannot see that the crews on the boats that they work on are illegally trafficked into the United States.  Has anyone of the technicians discussed that their supervisors.  Has one technician, getting federal wages, ever notify their supervisors that the crews on these long line vessels are paid in cash, make approximately $400.00 per month, pay no taxes and are detained on board these vessels for up to two years.  Any reports on vessel sanitation, care of fish caught, temperatures maintained under 39 degrees.  How in good conscience can an observer not see that these people are bought and sold as chattel.  Trafficked as illegal labor.  That's the reality of the industry.  Sorry if I offended you.
