And truthfully speaking, there is this culture of significance with billfish in Hawaii.
I mean, you've been there.
Fish is very, very important to them.
So we went back to the drawing board.
And in 2012, we got a law passed that banned the importation and sale of those species in the continental United States.
Hawaii and what they call other Pacific insular areas, you know, American territories like Guam, Samoa, they were still allowed, you know, to harvest it.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Billfish stocks around the world are not being managed good.
I mean, you can only point to, I think, one or two that have enough data that state that they're abundant.
But, you know, if you look in the Atlantic, okay, Atlantic Blue Marlin and White Marlin, they've been in alternating positions of either being overfished, experiencing overfishing, or the combination of the two for like over 30 years.
Okay.
Oh, absolutely.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, you have to look at it from a couple of different lenses.
Number one, you know, especially blue and black marlin, you know, the kind of apex predators, you know, the thousands of pounds.
But we had data that shown that their abundance had declined.
And Stephen, there are a number of species that we don't have enough data.
There's never been a stock assessment so we can accurately determine how depleted or not they are.
