[Coral-List] CITES - Source Code Designation for Export/Import - Malaysia

[Don Baker]

Coral L:

Malaysia Fisheries - both Federal and Sabah State level - insist to designate the F1 & 2 farmed corals originating from Sabah as "R".......   As this is all new to Malaysia...with its first Coral Farm operations initiated via Yayasan Sabah in 2006 - a national landmark achievement for sustainable mariculture...(http://www.innofishcfp.com/)...can anyone clarify this impass/issue?

Thanks,
Don Baker

"Dedication and motivated direction in achieving specific goals related to the care and protection of living things is not necessarily a guaranteed formula for success.  Success is, more often than not, a direct result of a person’s passion in addition to the above formula." [Don Baker, Marine Conservationist/Activist, 1998]
