Very good point Marta and you're right the discussion has led me to a black and white position. The MLPA purpose is to help rebuild and restore some degree of health to the ocean resources and IMO divers will only disrupt and in no way be helpful with their visits there in helping that process. Many years ago an immigrant from the Netherlands told me if you want to change the world start with yourself. If you see me in the reserves hunting fish to take pictures or siteseeing then call me a hypocrite. The only reason I would dive there is to assist in research after being asked by a Professional or Marine Biologist. We will see who the hypocrites are.
