Sponsored by: The Rainforest Site When handled humanely, aquariums can offer a glimpse into teeming marine ecosystems we may never otherwise be able to see. Unfortunately humane handling of sea animals for aquariums isnt always the case, as in Hawaii, where ocean wildlife collectors ignore the well being of coral reef fish and remove them from their natural habitats. The fish are taken swiftly out of the water without regard to pressure changes or the stress it might cause. And poor water quality results when large amounts of fish are put into cramped holding tanks. Many of the fish die before they reach the destination. Hawaii doesnt have any laws to protect wildlife that thrives on coral — even if thousands of fish die in a collectors care, theres nothing anyone can do. Urge Hawaii to draft strong legislation against the collection of reef wildlife and the decimation of the coral reef ecosystem therainforestsite.greatergood/clickToGive/trs/petition/CoralReefWildlife
