Please safe our Corals , they are the longs of the planet !Dennis says:
As stated in comment above website has the shirts from $25 - $28, Thinking the article means the SHIPPING is form $5 a shirt! I'm with Ellery ... for $5 I might consider buying a shirt for the MACNA that "wasn't"!Ellery says:
FYI - the cost on the Web site shows $25-$28 not $5/shirt. I bet it's a typo but just in case if it was $5/shirt I would definitely get one haha.Shane says:
That is awesome news! Maybe the gem will be next!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.
