If you didn't already know...there are many new changes for importers and exports to deal with when trading within the Aquarium Industry. It's not an easy task for Fish and Wildlife to notify everyone involved, nor is it easy for everyone to find time to check the Fish and Wildlife website where they post "Public Bulletins".
In an effort to help the situation, I am posting this message to anyone who wants to be included in new notifications about Aquarium Related Issues by Fish and Wildlife. I was initially thinking that importers would be the ones to be notified, but I guess anyone interested can participate.
Please email the lead Inspector Lisa Peratino who works and heads up the Los Angeles office. If you put in your subject box on your email, "Please include in Aquarium Industry Phonebook" then she should add your email contact into her group phonebook. Her email address is: (edited) We have been instructed not to send emails....please read further posts below!
Many of the new regulations are a long time coming, and others are up for discussion...but all in all...we are working together with Fish and Wildlife to keep our industry running smoothly, and most importantly within the regulations.
Best regards
