No more livestock from Sri Lanka and Indonesia!

Now that I got your attention. Pls donate generously to the Tsunami victims around our region! Click here for SRC Fund-Raising Effort :peace:

Seriously... after the human tragedy is over, the environmental impact will have to be assessed. Offhand reports put the figure close to 70% damage to the reefs around the coastlines of all the affected areas, not counting the damage to the mangrove swamps around (which is well-known as the nursery habitat for a lot of coastal sea life species).

It could take up to 10 years for these reefs to recover.

The impact on tourism will be hard hit. Eco-tourism like diving or snorkelling will be badly affected. Food fishing will be affected. The irony of it is that mother nature has wiped out in a flash what the environmentalists have been trying to prevent - the destruction of the reefs by human activity including pollution, commercial activities and traffic, overfishing, shore development and harvesting of livestock.

It could take a year to 3 years for these coastal communities and businesses to recover.

In the meantime, I fear that the hobby trade will be badly affected, once CITES steps into the picture and put a stop to harvestation of corals from our region -especially indonesia.

What's going to happen tomorrow? :unsure:

hhmmm...

how about we go to the LFSs round the island and buy all the corals 1st!!!!

anyway, the reefing community will have to take a backseat as the respective governments and related organisations repair the damages done by the tsunami.

:huh:

So does that mean LFS lesser business ? Then equipment will be cheaper to compensate for loss of business on livestock......
