YBeNormal May 21, 2006 Share May 21, 2006 FYI... Cheers Mike http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2006/s2625.htm To little, too late I'm afraid but it is comforting to know that something is being done that might have at least a small benefit to the global reef systems. The real question is how serious are they going to be about this. Will they actually enforce the rules or will they impose nuisance fines and look the other way when enforcement results in economic impact to some large political donor.

HowardofNOVA May 21, 2006 Share May 21, 2006 IMHO, the only way we are going to rid the practice at least in the states is to impose regulations and heavy fines that would discourage suppliers from receiving, stocking and selling fish caught with the cyanide! If an inspector had the technology to check shipments upon receipt and cyanide was detected, then the shipment would be immediately quarantine and destroyed! Harsh yes, but it would take no time for harvester/suppliers to get a few shots to the pocketbooks to realize a change in this procedure is needed! Without it, they are just blowing smoke!
