And obviously that just destroys reefs. We were out in an area called the Ulu Sea, and we were anchored at a sea mount. It was a formation that had come up from 3000 feet and came to within about 40 feet of the surface so we could anchor there. There were some native Filipinos that came by and these long canoes, and they were there harvesting, tried tna clams for food, which I, I’m sure they’re protected now, I’m guessing they were then. But they just had racks and racks of the dried animal extracted from their shell hanging on their boats and it just wiping out that species on the reef. So, you know, there were a lot of less than desirable dealers out there, collectors. We, the aquarium community has actually had many attempts at working with communities from, well, various parts around the world, but ensuring that we know that the collection has been done sustainably, that the holding of the animals have done sustainably. The transport, trying to cti certify every individual along the, the path from collection in the wild to the place in the quarium.
