Kerkera, Wilaya of Skikda, Algeria

A team of red coral (

Corallium rubrum

) looters has been arrested by wilaya security. The three men, aged 21 to 43, lived in a shack near Ben Zouit beach.

They had a motor boat and diving equipment. 14.5

kg of red coral were seized in their shack and 150 branches in a vehicle. The trio was placed in pre- trial detention. Ben Zouit beach, in Kerkera, is well known to divers. In 2014 the Algerian Underwater

Hunting Championship was held there. It is also

famous for drownings. 1

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Porto Rico, United States of America

The trial of Aristides Sanchez - the owner of the

aquarium business "Wonders of the Reef" in Arecibo - started today. He is accused of tra?cking coral (ge- nus Ricordea), sea anemones (order Actiniaria) and zoanthids (sea anemones living in colonies) in and from the United States. He harvested them in Porto Rican waters with a hammer and chisel, eroding the local reefs; he also had suppliers. He placed the ani mals in plastic bags ?lled with water, and sent them out via FedEx and UPS. The packages were declared as containing "animal supplies", "aquarium supplies", and "LED light bulbs". He preferred payment via Pay- pal. The investigation began in March 2015, when the Department of Natural and Environmental Re- sources seized a package containing

Ricordea

. The clues led to Aristides Sanchez, who was charged with sending 130 shipments between January 2013 and March 2016. Ricordea are highly sought after by aquarists the world over, for their colors that are bright under daylight and UV lighting. These marine invertebrates are sold for $ 25 US and $ 50 US each, depending on their color and size. Sanchez's traf ?cking between 2013 and 2016 is said to have been worth between $ 800,000 US to $ 1,200,000 US. The verdict will be announced on 20 December. 2

Los Angeles, State of California, United States of

America

A federal grand jury ruled on the cases of three

individuals and two companies from Los Angeles and Orange counties accused of tra?cking coral meant for aquarists. According to the bill of indictment, "Special agents of the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service investigated a complex scheme

where live coral were illegally ripped from coral reefs, hidden in air cargo shipments and imported at odd hours in an attempt to smuggle them into the United States." - The companies Renaissance Aquatics, Inc. and Lim

Aqua-Nautic Specialist, Inc. based in Inglewood,

and Chet Bryant (37 years old) from Houston are being sued for the illegal import of CITES-protected coral from Viet Nam, seven times over a ?ve- month period. Coral was hidden in the middle of shell?shes. - The company Renaissance and a certain Bryant were also charged with attempting to export coral. - Jose Torres (42 years old), a Gardena resident, was charged too with the attempted export of

20 species of live coral protected by CITES by

falsifying declarations to the USFWS, and with underestimating the weight of the freight. - As for him, Jorge Vazquez, from Garden Grove, thought it would be clever to ?ll up containers of Pringles chips with protected coral to send them o? to Mexico. The o?cers of Los Angeles International Airport didn't fall for it. He had hidden the containers of chips in his mother's luggage. Jorge Vazquez is

39 years old.

The ?ve natural persons and legal entities will

appear in a district court. Each of the charges is punishable by 10 years in federal prison. Chet

Bryant is charged in seven smuggling cases and

faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. 3 CHINA

July 25, 2017

Nanchang Changbei International Airport,

Jiangxi Province, China

Coral is seized from the luggage of a traveler

arriving from Bangkok. The local press insists on the fact that coral grows very slowly: 1 cm in 20 years. 4

Abalones

KO and Ciao abalones (

Haliotis

spp.)

On August 7, the South African Department of

Fisheries discontinued the granting of ?shing

licenses. Abalone catching falls into the hands of Cape Town gangs and the Chinese ma?a.

On the local marketplace, the price per kg has

hit $400 US. It was $40 US in 2008. Violence and corruption are almost alone to ?ank the exploitation and then smuggling of the marine gastropods. Even the farms are looted.

The European Union, and in particular France,

Spain, Italy, Portugal, and the United Kingdom,

would be well-advised to carefully examine thisquotesdbs_dbs14.pdfusesText_20
