Who says recreational collectors, photographers, silt kicking students and hook and line fisherman can't all enjoy the place (as has occured there for many years)?
Is Dan having a party?
Has anyone been able to get anything in writing which appears to supersede the information which I was given indicating that collection of tropicals etc. is allowed?
As for "absolute dicks" is that what you categorize all the hook and line fisherman who attempt to "take species" from the site? Since you have never been there, are you aware that this area is designated as a hook and line fishing area? Cleaning tables with running water and a specially designated fishing pier are all sited at this exact location.
So your response is...Everyone else is doing it, why can't I? Maybe others have done it for years, so what? Does that make it ok? NO! Imagine how much cooler that place would be if people hadn't taken from it?
As for the dicks, I highly doubt hook and line fishermen are taking seahorses and tropicals. I suspect they are looking for food, not some prize for their aquarium. It takes a real big man to go hunting with tupperware!
