This could be interesting, especially given the current issues with Hawaii.

@ReeferRob any news on this from the US ?

I cant see a total ban happenning. The aquacultred/maricultured coral industry employs too many people, is sustainable and is good for the local economy. It is an interesting development though

It's happened, I don't know where we're going from here. I have my suspicions, but I will keep them to myself due to the possibility of litigation. Maricultured corals and fish are still allowed to be exported from Fiji. We'll see what happens in the short term. I think we're going to see this happening quite a bit in the not too distant future which is why I've been stockpiling corals to be cultured.
