Reefs UK Proposal
Please read through our draft proposal to introduce legislation to only allow those marine animals to be traded within the UK / EU which have been independently certified as collected ethically and sustainably. We would like to build a proposal with as much input as possible from all parties concerned. Therefore please feel free to contact us and provide your own suggestions. Please quote the section number you would like to contribute to and your suggested text. If it meets the proposals objectives, we will add it to the next proposal revision.
Also, write to your MP / MEP and ask what it is they are doing to ensure the trading of marine animals within the UK /EU is not damaging the worlds reefs. Explain, in your letter that we do not want a ban as this will affect not only UK businesses but will also damage the trade for developing countries. However, we want to ensure businesses and the public can continue to enjoy these animals and turn the trade into becoming the farmers of coral reefs thus offering the reefs protection. Ask them to visit this website to review the proposal.
