"The White House announcement said the expansion “builds on a rich tradition of marine protection in Hawaiian waters and world-class, well managed fisheries, including a longline fishing fleet that is a global leader in sustainable practices.”"

If the longline fishery is a leader of sustainable practices, don't shut them out of our national waters!  The president's actions don't match his words here.  It's a shame how legitimate fisheries science has been ignored in the face of blind environmental activism.
