Culturing "Ogo" in Hawaiian Fishponds

There are many rural communities along the nation's 95,000 miles of coastline which would be ideal candidtaes for NCRI investment, but there are few regions which are in greater need of the Institute's assistance than the island of Molokai in the Hawaiian chain. Molokai has the highest proportion of native Hawaiians for all the islands except Niihau. Most of these natice Hawaiians are rural coastal residents who face an erosion of their traditional lifestlyle and economic base. Unemployment is high, job skills are relatively low, and marin/coastal-based employment opportunities are severly limited.
