The edge says:"
Someone can contribute actively to the welfare of (in this case) marine animals, even for many years.

I stand corrected. The Kanaka Maoli didn't thrive here for a thousand years by developing a sophisticated marine and terrestrial conservation system. They probably had 80% of their goods delivered by barge from Tahiti by the Teva Brothers shipping Company; who, of course used GPS navigation in its earlier configuration.
