Highlights the influence of marine practices and policies in the unincorporated territory of American Samoa on the local indigenous group, the American fishing industry, international seafood consumption, US environmental programs, as well as global ecological and native concerns.

Using plantation documents, missionary records, government documents, and oral histories, this book analyzes how the workers interacted with Hawaiian government structures and businesses, how US policies for colonial workers differed from those for citizens or foreigners, and how policies aided corporate and imperial interests.
