I know what you mean Mike
but If their gov. weren’t so stubborn they could have a export (in a sustainable matter) market world wide that will bring money to the table that will provide more food than the clam, small tropical fish they eat....I mean goldies,and clown surgeons is like two bites could have provided them with a chicken perhaps even rise?
I don’t know but the reef will not last the destruction currently going on
Pemba is over populated!
It's all very well for us to complain about people eating clams or fish or elephants or gorillas, but if your children are starving and you have no choice, maybe it's difficult to see the long term benefits of keeping certain species alive.
