		<description><![CDATA[&#160;&#160;&#160; As you can see from the entries below, we had a great week on Oahu.&#160; I&#39;d like to thank all the stakeholders who took time out from their busy schedules to share their perspectives on marine conservation issues with us.&#160; Direct access to such a wide diversity of important decision makers is what makes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our final day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To finish off our amazing week in O&#39;ahu, we had planned to go out on the water to watch humpback whales on Saturday.&#160; Unfortunately, when we arrived at Pier 800 to depart, we found out that problems with the boat had arisen that morning.&#160; We decided that it would be best to not go out [...]]]></description>

		<title>MMAC and WesPac</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning we saw fishery management in action.&#160; Before we had the fun&#160;of seeing&#160;breaching humpback&#160;whales, we were regaled to the sights, sounds, and tastes of fishery management.&#160; WesPac (The Western Pacific Fishery Management Council) was holding a Marine Mammal Advisory Committee meeting.&#160; It was here where we met again some familiar friendly faces from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While there were no sightings of Justin eating SPAM today, we had an exciting afternoon filled with sightings of a different sort.&#160; After lunch we piled into our favorite van and headed to the Makapu&#39;u Lighthouse Trail with hopes of seeing humpback whales.&#160; Not only did we want to see whales, but we had our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catastrophic Parking Error&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We learned another important lesson today.&#160; This one had nothing to do with marine conservation, but instead reminded us to read parking signs more carefully. It was more than a little disconcerting to come out of the Earthjustice office this afternoon to find that our van had vaporized.&#160; Fortunately, we were able to retrieve it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I start I&#39;d like to say a few words about Spam:&#160; It is a delicious tender meat that is under-appreciated and often overlooked.&#160;&#160;Known as&#160;&#34;Hawaiian steak&#34;&#160;it is&#160;near and dear to my diet&#160;as&#160;it is&#160;for many locals&#160;living in these islands.&#160; Please, give&#160;this sweet cube of succulence a tasteful chance.&#160;
