It is very gratifying to hear another man that is bold enough to speak out in favor of
the no-take reserves! The debate about the reserves has the effect of seporating those who truly love the sea from those who are only there to take what they can.
I'm hoping those who love the sea win this battle!
The proposed reserves are really our only hope of restoring OUR ecosystem to any semblence of its natural state.
Our generation has seen the biggest and the best of what's out there, we now OWE it to future generations to try to preserve what is left.
The sooner this happens, the better.
For those who suggest that diving will not be allowed within the reserves, that is false. No-take doesn't mean no look.
