New data by CITIES AND NOAA shows that of the 200,000 meric tons of coral removed 94,000 kilos of this is hard corals ? that works out to 1/100ths of 1 percent I believe? Is this true?

Even with the amounts of hard coral your estimates are sporting, 100,000 kilos is just one 1/1000th of the total 200,000 metric tons your first post displayed {1/100 of one percent?}These are YOUR figures? Thats like the sand left on your shoes when one comes home from the beach contributing to...

I did so more math! I Know everyone likes my math! If the estimate of 94,000 kilos or lets sy 100,000 kilos is somehow correct : then 100,000 kilos multiplied by 2.2 gives us 220,000 pounds........or 100 tons........A washing machine BOX filled with solid coral or sand is about 2,000 pounds or...

This graf may be correct at 94 klilos but then againit might not ? How was this amount estimated and by who? Like I said Only CITES could come up with a paper trail, and My permits are written in number of items not kilos?Kilogram is a DRY measurement? Also how do you weight a coral / In the...

Does anyone else have any idea how many reef tanks there are in the USA?Seems like a most important one? If some one could come up with a number, then perhaps we could easily do some math and see whats the MOST corals this hobby could possibly be consumming? I have a good guess in Georgia and...

I am saying that THIS "hobby" has no impact on the coral . what we remove in sps coral is so tiny its silly to worry about it. Lets try another way to expose how small it really is.........How many HARD coral reef tanks are there in Atlanta? One percent of the population would be 4,000 that...

Im sorry I read the post again Dr reef and yes agree that target species of fish and certain corals are in grave danger.. feel that all adult fish should not be taken of the reef, because they are 1 in a million. Its the idea that this hobby with reguard to sps coral removal has any effect on...

Picture this ...All the coral for this hobby ever taken from the reefs{forty years.........take all this coral an pile it on a barge{it would easily fit} .......now float this barge over a large reef in Indonesia and ask the coastguard to find it .......it would take some time, because the barge...

Hi galleon, Yes I agree "cherry picking the most colorfull animals will change the make up of the reef> All brown left..not good And you would win this argument with me . But my statements were about the volume of coral removed and if this would impeed the reefs'ability to grow... Are the...

Ive been around a long time,Yet im no expert .......no one is? If you dont Know which Airport im speaking of, or why its silly to not see that the amount of mass removed from a Pacific coral reef for this hobby is so minute that its silly to worry about......then it most likely reflects the...

How bout "photo I.Ds? "I didnt really plan on putting lables ON the fish .

The idea of coral harvesting for the hobby having any effect on the health of any coral reef in the Pacific is weak... the amount removed is so tiny in pounds ,that one year of storms knocks off more coral then has ever been collected for the trade.........in one year more coral is removed for...
