No more international coral trade eh? Better start growing out some frags, looks like the value might be going up...

Seriously, how long will it be before something like this gains traction? On the one hand it sucks for hobbyists because supply will get cut but on the other hand if you stop to think about how many corals were collected compared to each one in our tanks and it's probably 100 to 1 or worse .. maybe it's needed.

i wouldnt be to concerned with it, Im sure there will be certified dealer's who will aquaculture most things. import's would be limited. And the supplier's from those import's will probably undergo certification for sustainable reef's with x amount collected in a more humane way then cyanide fishing etc....
im all for cultured everything. and we seem to be getting closer every day to this goal.

I was thinking, this is only a US thing. But the more I thought about, the more I realized it would affect Canada too. A lot (all?) of corals shipped to Canada are being transported from a major US airport. If this is to be passed as a law, import of corals into Canada will be greatly affected too as I don't think US will allow planes that have those corals to stop in a US airport.
