The Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC):

PROMOTES responsible pet ownership and animal welfare
FOSTERS environmental stewardship &
ENSURES the availability of pets


The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is requesting public input regarding the potential need for protective regulations for 20 coral species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). If NMFS applies all of the prohibitions contained in Section 9(a)(1) of the ESA to the 20 listed coral species, a range of activities would become prohibited under federal law unless a party obtains further authorization from NMFS. These prohibited activities would include importing or exporting the species; possessing, transporting or selling the listed species; or handling, capturing, or holding the species in captivity.


PIJAC is working to ensure that the regulations are fair, based on scientific study, and will help to protect both the environment and the marine aquaria hobby.
