From what I've being told ... she's trying to protect the Indo reefs which has been selfishly destroyed when being collected by local divers. There wasn't any due diligence to protect the reefs. Collecting corals and letting it thrive again is usually the norm BUT majority of times when corals are being harvested, it gets destroyed and have no chance of growing back. That was her main concern as I've been told ....

yes that too ;Cat

for everyone else, indo is fairly impossible to police, with 17,000+ islands, little littoral and no blue water navy. i have seen as little as 5 working 12' boats patroling all of raja ampat marine reserve, which is about 3,500 sq miles spread across different patches, and that's indo's crown jewel.

ideas how we in the community, can help with our business and reefing practices?

some smart reefer should write a reefer's code.
