On Friday, Congressmen Ed Case and Jared Huffman will host a listening session here in Honolulu to hear from stakeholders about the MSA and fisheries management in the Western Pacific.

It is critical that they and the rest of our elected leaders hear loud and clear that, given the ongoing threats posed by climate change in the Pacific, it is imperative that we uphold the MSA’s proven processes to follow the best scientific advice, rebuild depleted fisheries and ensure the adoption of the accountability measures that make our system work.
