The apex predators are more than just a tourist attraction. Their protection in a marine park helps other fish thrive as well.

Since Nov. 11, five whales have washed up in the islands, sometimes prompting the posting of warning signs because sharks are attracted.

Like many other countries, the U.S. longline fleet based almost entirely in Honolulu wants to catch more fish.

The federal advisory body’s leaders want a five-year delay of the commercial fishing prohibition around Papahanaumokuakea.

They claim Hawaii’s longline fishing fleet is improperly using an exemption to federal law to employ foreign fishermen.

The last-minute agreement represented one of the week’s few accomplishments, but more action on tuna is expected next year.

Diverse interests always seem to stymie a global organization charged with saving bluefin and bigeye tuna from overfishing.

Critics say the longline fleet’s tuna catch can be a “product of slavery,” but an industry leader said most crews are managed humanely.

The Pacific island nation partners with The Nature Conservancy to boost accountability and looks for lessons elsewhere — but not Hawaii.

A Civil Beat reporter catches a red-eye flight to Fiji, where hundreds of people are discussing the health of tuna populations.
