180. Understanding Regulations 2
Let’s face it – the aquarium industry causes a lot of harm. From invasive species to over harvesting, the need for regulation in this industry is greater than ever. In this episode, the Water Colors team discusses some recently passed and proposed regulations, as well as dissecting some of the process behind their creation and implementation. Often, hobbyists panic at the thought of being regulated – with some of the loudest voices calling for outrage and opposition. The reality is that we need regulation; for the sake of our planet, the animals we love, and the longevity of the aquarium industry. We hope to encourage listeners to not only accept this concept, but also learn how we can all have a seat at the table and discuss our opinions.

I listened to this podcast and I’m from Hawaii and participate in the AQ fishery and lead the charge for reopening the West Hawaii fishery. I have to say that you guys would be wise to research this issue more before speaking on this topic. One guy seemed to get some things right(I’m sorry I don’t know your names ) I’d love to have a conversation with you guys to share some local knowledge on what’s really going on here in hopes I can spread what’s true.
