Aloha, Dr. Jack Randall (1924-2020) World's Foremost Marine Ichthyologist
Dr. John E. “Jack” Randall: May 22, 1924 – April 26, 2020
Dan Dolaptchieff says:
The whole EIS was about 12 greedy trop divers wanting the whole pie for themselves. Was bound to crash. . The DLNR is doing its own EIS. See what happens then. AlohaRandall P says:
Good. I'm an avid hobbyist, but any study carried out by industry interests is automatically suspect and likely to be rejected by those not financially motivated, as happened here. 2000 pages and didn't even address major concerns? Pathetic.Dan Dolaptchieff says:
As of now the eis has been nullified by the dlnr. The best for now. AlohaRoberto B says:
From a hobbyists point of view this does seem like a set back but to be honest it might be a good incentive for both the fisheries board and the companies doing the fishing to invest in local captive breeding of all the Popular Hawaiian aquarium Fishes and invertebrates... This will help the local economy and promote a positive outlook on the aquarium industry as whole if we could find a way to rally behind the idea that captive breeding is the future of the Aquarium industry.Michael Foster says:
Have you had issue with them becoming obsessed with their reflection in glass?C. says:
Hi, somewhat related: what happened to the Amazonas sample magazine? The link has been dead recently. Thanks
