without question and it would seem odd that the industry leading exporter in fiji wouldn't be directly and definitively addressed on the matter. however, given the ruling in hawaii this year it's tough to brush it off as a ludicrous claim.

Walt smith put out a statement yesterday about this. Sure didn’t sound like a rumour the way he was talking.

Walt Smith gave an update on his FB page today. Things look grim.

This removes much of the financial incentive for coral farmers to set up in Fiji, which in turn hurts their local economy and their ability to fight back against the loss of reefs from other causes. No warning, no discussions with stakeholders.

Not good, not good.
