Cash grab. You can bet that they care less about their reefs and environment than our current administration does. This will get sorted out quickly.
That being said... while nearly all of these end up getting figured out, Marshall Island never did get sorted out and our best source of Live Rock is still gone. This was more of an issue with people using crushed live rock for road-base and the Ministry actually having an environmental conscience, but I guess that a perm ban is always a possibility.
