The Hawaii Longline Association (HLA) is a prominent organization established in 2000 to represent the interests of fishermen and related industries involved in the Hawaii longline fisheries. Their primary focus is on deep-set targeting bigeye tuna and shallow-set targeting swordfish, which are vital fisheries in the United States.
HLA actively promotes science-based conservation and management measures, advocating for its members in both domestic and international management settings. Additionally, the association facilitates cooperative research activities within the Hawaii longline fleet, ensuring sustainable practices and the preservation of these important fisheries.
