Photos From My Trip To The Great Barrier Reef!

Thanks

 

The scale is just absolutely breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!

 

Ok this question is going to sound dumb because althoughI dont know the answer yet, I have a feeling theres is going to be a reason behind why what im thinking is probably not possible.

So here it is...Did you get any specimens? lol. As I said im sure theres is some regualtion on it but I must admit my ignorance in the subject of The Barrier Reef and/or the regulations on any other reef for that matter. I would assume not evn a frag, invert or broken peice of Reef are allowed however Im sure there is more to it?

 

Your welcome

 

No I did not bring home any coral.... would I have liked to? Yes
But in reality would I? No
It is illegal to take coral from the Barrier reef without a special permit, whice is very hard to get. And still there are places that are especially protected where NO ONE under any circumstances is allowed to take any coral.
Also I do not think it would be right to take from the reef. If everybody who went to visit the Great Barrier Reef took a small frag it would hurt the reef, and the overall environment...

 

Wow puts my dives in key largo a couple weeks ago to shame!

 

as I said dude. Im ignorant to the laws and environmental issues of the reefs. and yes I assume if every person took a part of a reef home when they visited there would no longer be a reef. thats obvious. Didnt know if there was a permit, or license or restriction or what though.

 

Haha LOL... the dives still must have been amazing though.

 

Yes there is a permit as a said before, but remember it is for a reason. I am pretty sure most of these permits are also extremely expensive to get. Hope that clears it up for you.

 

Great pics! Sooooooo jelous.............
