Fish & Coral Collection

[pat8you]

Just out of curiosity does anyone know the laws or where i can find them on collection of fish and coral? i'm sure they are different for the US and other countries. I would love to get my dive license and be able to collect if i could do it legally. I suppose there is that small problem that i am no where near a tropical reef as well but i'll figure that out.

I believe local law varies depending on where you are, but if you want to get it back into the US it has to be CITES approved.
Welcome to CITES

This is for Florida, but will give you an idea.

each coastal state have their own set of laws. Look up the State then look up the DLNR laws and rules.
