September 23, 2022 — Celebrating 70 years in operation, the United Fishing Agency has become the anchor of commercial fishing on Oahu.
Up to a 100,000 pounds of raw fish can be auctioned off each morning. And in consideration of such high volumes, standards for fishing sustainability are constantly evolving.
The Hawaii Longline Association (HLA) oversees the operation of 145 local longline vessels, and has been subject to independent observer coverage to maintain the protection of wildlife and manage gear and bait procedures.
