text: Many coal miners in West Virginia demand mining jobs be preserved so their way of life may continue.  Many Native Alaskans living in a wildlife refuge demand the oil and gas industry be allowed to drill so they may collect fees to support their way of life.  Hawaii is another place where a segment of the population is depending on an extractive, unsustainable practice as their way of life.  If the issue is the price of certain fish rising or jobs lost, from what I understand most of our fish is shipped here frozen, and no job is too sacred to face valid criticism.  The key issue here is protecting biodiversity and ensuring sustainable marine ecosystems for generations to come.  Government can also ease the transition for longliners in any number of ways, because a win for our environment doesn't have to be a loss for anyone.  In any case, we should not be fooled by arguments that suggest life in Hawaii will be radically changed by an expansion of the PMNM.
