deepblue...I think it is a bit like the line in the movie...if you build it they will come...
We all know that the practice of fish collection will not change as long as there is money to be made. And as long as people are of the opinion the cheaper the fish the better...there will be money to be made.
If marine hobbiests were absolutely shocked that a local store brought in fish that were cyanide caught, and then never shopped in that store again, well that would send a message. If a LFS only carried tank raised livestock and marine hobbiests (is that a word?) shopped only there, and consequently they made more money... well that sends a message too.
The fate of the reef system does not rest in the hands of the importers it rests in the hands of the consumers. You tell me how I can buy fish from you...I'm there...and I might even stand in front of a LFS store and hand out notices 8)
