Fishing
on Hawaii is a natural thing here in because we live on an island.
Since we live on an island, we use our resources, and with the growing
population, our native fish are being over fished. With the possibility
of over fishing and extinction, fishing regulations were put into effect.
Overfishing is not just a problem for fish, but also crustaceans, such
as Lobsters and Crabs. Regulations for fishing consist of size and
gender; the same also goes for crustaceans too. Fish or crustaceans
have to be a certain size and usually a male to be a legal catch. Fishing
is considered a sport because it is very much like hunting because
you're catching to eat or using it for a tournament entry. Fishing
can be done in a way that does not harm the environment, but fishermen
have to make sure that they clean up anything that they have left behind
like old nets, fishing line or anything that can hurt the ocean animals
or coral reefs.
