  1. ESA Petition Dwarf Seahorse --- NOAA 90-Day Finding

    Seahorses have never really been my thing, I haven't had time to look at the petition in detail, although from my limited knowledge of this seahorse, it seem common in areas with healthy seagrass populations. I think the CBD might be trying to protect habitats through species listing. There is...
  2. Anyone see the PetSmart $10 coupon?

    Wow. Someone really made an interesting decision. Let's attract impulse buys on reptiles. Nemo all over again?
  3. "Captive conditioned"?

    Jay, it's like captive raised that some are selling. There are no standards for anyone to follow, thus it is open to all sorts PR and adverting. Even captive reared is an open word. You see something listed as tank rear, tank raised, captive raised and such and you have no idea if they are...
  4. Commerical Sweetwater Blowers For Sale

    We have a few S63 blowers for sale, 3 phase. I'll make someone a great deal, they are new, never used.
  5. Hawaii SB580 - proposal to ban collection in Hawaii

    Welcome to the club, being accused of being the evil aquaculture guy, just trying to hurt the poor fisherman. Simple minded people that don't understand the situation. You must learn to laugh in said when this comes up. The real issue here Matt is that the fisherman, industry leaders, fishery...

  8. Petition to List 83 Species of Corals as Threatened/Endanger

    It's unfortunate that Theories & Laws and such words are so misunderstood. You still are not applying the term correctly. Gravity is not a Theory, gravity exists/happens and should be thought of as a fact, a fact which is explained in part (mostly) by Newton's Theory of Gravitation...
  9. Petition to List 83 Species of Corals as Threatened/Endanger

    Maybe it will help if people remember that Gravity is a fact explained by the Theory of Gravitation, yes Newton's Theory, and he was not 100% correct in his theory. If that is hard to understand, I suggest you test the theory by throwing a stone, a big stone, straight up in the air and watching...
  10. Did anybody else just receive this list?

    I got it as well with this email message: From: christiane schmidt <fishfood@gmx.net>
  11. Vanuatu’s Aquarium Fishery the Movie

    Yes its a few years old. The last document I saw for the fishery was in 2009, a fishery management plan, as detailed or more than most other ornamental fisheries.
  12. The state of MAC

    Gresham, What entered my ears was: out of money, director stepped down, no longer functioning, BOD to determine at some point in the future if they could resurrect it. I think Jay heard the same thing.
  13. The state of MAC

    Was told as of April they are out of funds and shut down. This thread was split from the thread "Contacting MAC" - Len

  15. Governments Fail to Protect Red and Pink Coral (Coralliidae)

    Agreed, but you know I don't see CITES as a viable organization after this, maybe I'm not plugged in enough and just getting the sand out of my eyes, but at least our trade is is being monitored and has quotes. Certainly if an organism needed ESA listing because of its trade it would be large...
  16. Governments Fail to Protect Red and Pink Coral (Coralliidae)

    Sharks got canned as well. Really have to question CITES at this point. Gives more validity to the CBD and Pew.......
  17. Governments Fail to Protect Red and Pink Coral (Coralliidae)

    I'm really shocked the proposal didn't pass. Tokyo and Italy have great lobbies. Both Bluefin and Coral jewelry got shot down. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases ... 61882.html
  18. Petition to List 83 Species of Corals as Threatened/Endanger

    Peter, search Nature News. His paper was on Nature News a day before my recent paper was, I think that might be where that quote came from but I'm not sure. Just an observation, FEDs are not exactly pleased to have groups taking all of their limited resources by submitting request for ESA...
  19. Petition to List 83 Species of Corals as Threatened/Endanger

    That post was from Vitz. On point, but I'm sure the tone will not fly well on NOAA list serve. NOAA CORAL LIST is not REEFS.ORG so, as professional as possible. Questioning the logic of certain posters in that list serve is important. Just be professional. I've been asking Les and others to...
