Dear Council members -
I am an avid scuba diver, beach goer and all around ocean lover. I
believe it is vital that we conserve the fish on our reefs. This is our
island home and the ocean surrounding it has a wealth of resources for
all to enjoy.
We need to do all that we can to keep it beautiful, healthy and
sustainable. I believe one of those ways is to stop taking reef
fish from our Island waters. Some of these fish, like the cleaner
wrasses, perform very important duties not only to other fishes but to
other creatures such as manta rays. Have you ever seen the beauty
of these tiny fishes going in and out of the gills and mouth of these
huge creatures? It is truly incredible!
Our coral reefs are valuable and important to those of us who live here
and enjoy them everyday. We can not keep taking and taking from the
reefs and expect that they will recover. We as humans have pushed
the resources beyond its limits. We need to put a stop to the never
ending stripping of the natural resources that are here for all of us to
enjoy, not just a few through a piece of glass [if the fish lives that
long].
Please support HCC Resolution 363 -10 to ban taking of fish
for aquarium trade.
