The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration acknowledged local Steve Spina for tagging and releasing eight blue marlins from 2010-2011. Spina, a member of the Malibu Marlin Club, released more blue marlins than any other angler in Hawaiian waters during that time period.

Spina thanked his crew, including captain Kerwin Musunaga, Heather Musunaga and Brent Musunaga, for their hard work in safely tagging the blue marlins and returning them to the wild.
