Slave Labor in Commercial Fishing: Jay Friedheim
A situation brought to light last week in an AP article has many people wondering how in our state there could be foreign fishermen unable to get off the US-flagged boats which employed them - for years. The state of the fishermen is made possible by a complicated set of laws that created a loophole supported by the late Sen Dan Inouye. The men are reported to be paid as little as 70 cents an hour, not allowed to be in possession of their papers and ineligible for immigrant visas, again because of the loophole. Jay Friedheim is a longtime maritime attorney. in 2002, his efforts led to the arrest of a Chinese ship, the Full Means 2, with crew in similar circumstances. We asked Jay Friedheim to have a look at what’s known about this case and help us navigate our understanding.

Managing the Papah?naumoku?kea Monument: Char Miller
Now that the hoopla over the expansion of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument is over, how to manage an ocean park about the size of Alaska is just as big a question. It’s the one worries a California professor who studies the history and management of marine sanctuaries, national forests, parks and refuges in California and West. Char Miller is the W. M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis at Pomona College in Claremont CA. His just-published book, Not So Golden State: Sustainability vs. the California Dream (2016), explores some of the ethical, environmental, and economic dilemmas of park management.
