Nice article.
For those that have snorkeled or are into diving the last 20 years sure have seen the impact to our reefs. They are being devastated. Certainly it may not be caused by coral collection but things are changing for the worse. Once pristine reefs I visited are all but gone within 5 to 10 years. I am all for aquacultured and that is the future, the more we can eliminate wild collection the better in my opinion.
