I was thinking the exact same thing. These types of topics come up a lot and usually crumble into chaos or get buried. I'd like to really know what is going on from "farm to table" so to speak. I work as a fisheries professional and accounting for what we produce, why we do it and how it fits in with our mission statement is pretty much part of my job description.The general sustainability of the hobby.
Specifically, how the hobby impacts coral reefs, communities, and ultimately us. It’s kind of loaded but I think there are a wide variety of topics that could fall under this. Possible topics could include:
- Aquaculture vs mariculture vs wild collection - which do reefers prefer and why?
- How the hobby creates jobs, locally and internationally
- LFS spotlight - highlighting a different local aquarium store each week. What do each do differently?
- Climate change and it’s impact on the hobby
- Our hobby’s impact on coral reefs
- How can we preserve species through the hobby
What all the different abbreviations mean QT, DT, RODI, LFS....the list goes on. If i hadn't been doing freshwater for a number of years I would have NO clue where to begin with all this. I think a lot of times since it's so easy to abbreviate it's easy to forget not everyone knows automatically what they stand for!
awesome! hadn't stumbled on that yet - i'll have to bookmark it for sure. Is it regularly updated?Great point! For everyone that gets caught by an acronym, abbreviation, or reef-related vocabulary term, this link may be helpful:

It doesn't get updated very often any more because it is fairly exhaustive, but it you (or anyone) sees something that you think could be added then please let me know!
