Ban from Hawaii?
 

I was at my LFS looking at yellow tangs and the guy there told me that if I want one, I should buy one soon because there is a ban coming down on the export of yellow tangs from Hawaii?

I thought the bills did NOT get passed and there was no worry until next year...?

Anybody know anything about this? Is he just trying to sell me a fish??

i can't find an e-mail i sent to the gov't of 'Hawaii a few years ago petitioning a ban on collection of coral and live stock from hawaii but i am aware that there is a movement petitioning against it.i'm not if the ban has been enforced yet but you can check with wwf from your country.

It is with the state legislature...found this...HERE

and there you have it...
