Endangered Fish/Corals Protection Enforced

It's great see the authorities are enforcing laws that regulate the importation of protected & endangered live fish and corals. This will help to protect the natural coral reefs in the oceans. I have been following this story for a few months now wanting to see how it would all turn out.

I hoping this will make others think twice before trying to purchase protected animals and corals giving them a better chance to rebuild their populations

Hopefully it will help. But there's always some idiot out there willing to try and get protected species anyway, and this only makes it a greater challenge

We must address the issue of corporate and national resource development. Collecting and the keeping of rare and unique species can be done to have a minimal impact. Logging, oil development and fertilizer wastes are the true culprits in this battle. There is less than 2% of the land mass of this planet in any type of shape to be called pristine. Only 5% of all reefs are able to be called pristine.

Pushing the trash off of the trash barge and into the Ocean where it is supposedly unseen is the world's current number one problem.
