Disturbing, but on the other hand, we know it is not the full picture.
The marine biologist on the first clip, Mr.Bartlett, was giving the example of fish being removed and algae destroying the reefs.
How about food fish then?
Vanuatu is exporting food fish, how about predators and algae grazers being removed?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there is any blockage to Vanuatu fish export these days? Seems like BigAl in Canada is no longer importing them from their exporters (they supposedly own the exporter too as I recall).

thanks for any insights.

Yes its a few years old. The last document I saw for the fishery was in 2009, a fishery management plan, as detailed or more than most other ornamental fisheries.
