Indonesia Coral An Anemones Export Prohibition

[TORX]

I came across this from a reputable source this morning. I have yet to confirm from other sources, but again, this was trusted. We still have not recovered from the Hawaii ban that was lifted a month or more ago and now we are looking at a different one. Indonesia Coral an Anemones Export Prohibition until the unforeseeable future.

If this continues to be a trend internationally. Soon people will be smuggling corals from exotic places up their butts.

life stock can be transferred only by air.
Any airport can scan luggage and actually they are doing it.
Of cause it will be a couple dozen of successful shipping.
Also they will catch a couple of guys and it will be widely published court process.
Would expect price up.

Just to clarify, it is not a ban, they just aren't shipping anything. Tomato tomahto

We have received an update from a source closely involved in the Indonesian coral trade in response to this morning’s news that Indonesian coral exports have been halted.

“I want to be clear, there is no Indonesian coral ban. CITES permits are being issued as normal.

“This story is just a technical problem between two ministries in Indonesia. The fishery/quarantine people don’t want to issue the health certificate that has to accompany any live coral shipment, locally and internationally. There are ongoing negotiations between these two ministries to solve this technical issue. Indonesians are progressive people and will look for a quick positive outcome. It will be solved within a couple weeks.

“There won’t be any local or overseas transportation of coral and anemones until health certificates are released again. Shipments will only be postponed, but I anticipate the resumption of coral exports in short order.”

Maybe that explains all the palytoxin cases lately...

I think it's still a more important subject if cbc/liberals go after the ownership of corals. They have a long record of "I don't like something, so you can't have it" mentality and policy. If they attack even aquacultured pieces the hobby is done in Canada, regardless of where it comes from.
