freshwater fishing

Very interesting, Carey, you're teaching me so much and I really appreciate it. I've got a ton of questions, but I'll settle for just a couple:

I Googled o'opu and see that there are five species in the genus. That there are genera and species with Hawaiian names is what struck me as most interesting. What's the derivation of the Hawaiian names?

I've never heard of an EIS being "turned down". Was this a NEPA EIS? The NEPA process can't (usually) be completed until the Endangered Species Act process is complete, but a candidate species would not usually get mention in the ESA Biological Assessment. So do you mean the Record of Decision was not signed, or was the project withdrawn due to the presence of o'opu? I'm also curious which agency sponsored the EIS?

Sorry for all the questions, and I apologize to others on this forum who likely don't follow these acronyms, but this is a very important process for all Hawaiians. This is what I do, and I'm really really interested.
