Sine the UN has "proven" it's effectiveness and legitimacy I am not to

This action was done by CITES for non compliance by Fiji.

In December Queen Conch will also be CITES listed, which means no more conch
fritters!

CITES is "Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species" and
already impacts what corals are allowed in U.S. (and big fines for
distributors caught with anything else in a box of imported coral!) Info
on CITES and Fiji at:
http://www.cites.org/eng/news/sundry...renewed2.shtml

There is a good thread on Fiji's noncompliance on Reefs.org. Interesting
comments from Walt Smith (who also says wholesalers don't want his
farmed corals as they believe we end users want wild ones):
