What a shame to see all those Achilles Tangs on ice.Rich says:
There is a lot of evidence online that shows the aquarium hobby isn’t the problem to the Hawaiian reef fish. It’s the big commercial fishing, pollution and climate change. But the easy target is the aquarium industry. We will see in the coming years that ban did nothing to help fish population that has been increasing in numbers over the years. This bill stinks just like the swap that approved it in Washington that had to sneak it into a covid 19 relief package along with another bill to protect Hollywood. It’s all about who gives the corrupt politicians the most money.Brian says:
Such a sad day. Well written article. Its a shame that industry hasn't been heard and more than enough scientific evidence put forward wasn't listened to. Decisions based on emotion. I only hope the new EIS will be seen as a positive step forward and industry can find a way forward with the DLNR to manage their resources and ensure the benefit of endemic species stays in Hawaii and benefit local population and not moved to another country breeding these species. The initial EIS had over 2000 pages of well designed and explained science. Hopefully the followup with adress all of the original questions and concerns and ensure a sustainable way forwardTony Fendt says:
I've said it here before and I'll say it again, be careful who you ideologically get into bed with, BIG ENVIRONMENT is not your friend ... ever ... you are merely an ignorant pawn in its game of influence and self-interest.Dan Dolaptchieff says:
Hi Craig, I can tell u may be the knd that only reads sumaries of stories. Go back a few issues of r2r and u will fnd all theproof and from many marine biologists not just our leading one in Hawaii. Its uninformed persons like u that probably voted for our last president. U saw how that played out. Everything u like and. CRave is now under attack by those that think that u dont deserve it Fight for it ,dont give up. Snorkel Bob and associates dont want u to have any pets. Ur dog will be next. AlohaCraig Goldstein says:
I often find articles in Coral to be little more than thinly veiled product endorsements with little real content. With that in mind this editorial, in the guise of a news article, serves the interests of your advertisers. It does not, however, make a convincing case for continued harvesting of Hawaiian fish. I am told that emotion and bias have trumped science, but the science is not presented. The opinion of “some marine biologists”, offered anonymously, is not terribly persuasive, because those biologists might be outliers. I would be more interested in knowing the opinion of the majority of marine biologists, and this information is not offered. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m not convinced that you’re right.
