551 dead yellow tang
#1
Did anyone see the article in the paper the other day about Honokohau Harbor and the discovery of several hundred dead tropical fish in a dumpster by the boat ramp? 551 dead tang included?

http://www.westhawaiitoday.com/articles/...ocal01.txt

I have to say I am personally against people harvesting these fish for sale to pet shops and wish it was illegal in total. While many people come here and seem to be pleased with the diving experiences in all my snorkeling experience in Hawaii the ocean and reefs are rather devoid of fish. I have always felt that too many people are plundering the tropical fish here for purely selfish reasons. Just another case of over exploitation of finite resources.

Most of my diving experience in my youth was at the Channel Islands off Ventura/Santa Barbara. That location has sence become a protected area and if you want to see fish in the millions that is a place to go. Unfortunately I have no way to know what it might have been like on our Hawaiian reefs years ago but my sense is that before long our waters will be empty.

Someone tell me I am wrong.... please.
Assume the best and ask questions.
