Hawaiian Bonefish Gillnetting - A Petition

Perhaps this is a worthy petition to consider signing.

Talking to a couple of my friends who have connections to this fishery, I have learned that by designating bone fish as a "Gamfish" the locals will still be able to catch and keep them (using rod and reel) but the commercial harvest and netting of them will be prohibited. This is important as there are several cultural dish's that they cook with them and consider them to be culturally important. Please take the time to educate yourself and help out a good cause.

The fact that they have a picture of bonefish caught in a seine net, and their petition title is "stop gill-netting" implies that this is perhaps not as well thought out as it might be.
