By the time that happens I'll be really retired and sitting on a beach sipping tall cool refreshing tropical drinks!

very interesting stuff. I have a passion for and degrees in environmental conservation and international/national policy. If you need any help with research please tell me.
i scuba'd that reef in raja ampat post crash, if i remember correctly, the dive site is called crossover, smack in the middle of the dampier straight. if you saw the giant chain marks, further scarring the reef for 100s of meters, when idiotoic cruise boat was pulled off the reef by tugs, you'd all even more ticked. totally disgusting.

Word from one of my suppliers overnight that the suspension will be lifted. When I pressed for details their response was that they couldn't share anything now. When asked if regulations were expected to change significantly the answer was yes. So, not sure what this means or if it's anything beyond speculation. Many other suppliers there have said no progress or any hints of change in the situation. The guys at the farm I've shown in the pics in this thread have said they are seriously depressed and see the situation as an endless battle. As soon as any real news is available i'll post it here.

Good opportunity for the likes of East Timor - exactly the same waters/species as Indonesia, but its own nation.
Somewhat surprising that there isn't more Philippine stock on the market.
New Caledonia - 2nd (?) largest barrier reef in the Pacific if not the world - and as an administrative part of France, would face minimal import barriers into the EU (since it is a member).
French Tahiti could function similarly for the Western Hemisphere

Australia doesn't seem to be making "shut it down" noises

Ostensibly the high degree of regulation - PIA as it may be - is what has kept this venue open and has mitigated over-exploitation

Most farms grow everything. Sps just grow fast and tends to look very impressive color wise. Difficult to keep those vibrant colors in captivity.
