<B>I try to.</B>

4) Have you ever done anything to harm the environment especially the ocean?
Not to my knowledge.

5) Would you be willing to spend tax money to protect the environment?
Depends on the tax rate increase. But yeah, probably.

6) Would you join an organization that is dedicated to protecting the environment?
No, I am interested in it, but will not join an organization.

7) Should people use other safer means to catch fish instead of cyanide and explosives?
Wha? They use cyanide and explosives? They should definately find a better way.

8) If you had a saltwater tank would you purchase tank raised or tank bred fish intead of wild caught?
I would try to buy tank bred. IMHO, I think they would be more active and stuff since they are used to being in a glass compartment.

Same thing as above.

10) Do you agree that tank raised/bred fish and aquacultured corals and invertebrates are a good idea?

1) Do you agree that the destruction of coral reefs is a big issue?
Yes, although the subject is not covered in the media, it is a global issue.
2) Do you think its important to protect out coral reefs?
Absolutely, What else will provide a safe (relatively) place for the multitudes of fish which live there?
3) Do you do your part to protect the environment from pollution and global warming?
Yes, I recycle everything I can.
4) Have you ever done anything to harm the environment especially the ocean?
Drive a car, fart, peed in the sea when I was a child maybe, but nothing serious!!
5) Would you be willing to spend tax money to protect the environment?
Not if it means I would have to pay more tax.
6) Would you join an organization that is dedicated to protecting the environment?
No, look at what the animal rights group did to the dead womans body last year, dug it up because her family ran an animal experiment lab, thats just wrong.
7) Should people use other safer means to catch fish instead of cyanide and explosives?
Yes, and most collectors do now.
8 ) If you had a saltwater tank would you purchase tank raised or tank bred fish intead of wild caught?
Probably, it all depends on how the fish are collected from the wild. You have to remember that all species of fish were originally wild caught, and without that there would be no fish keeping hobby.
9) How about aquacultered corals and other invertebrates?
Yes, as long as they weren't more expensive to buy.
10) Do you agree that tank raised/bred fish and aquacultured corals and invertebrates are a good idea?
They are a good idea, but they are far off being the main source of supply, its always a good idea to ease the pressure from wild stocks especially if they are endangered.

Yes.

2) Do you think its important to protect out coral reefs?
Yes.

3) Do you do your part to protect the environment from pollution and global warming?
Somewhat. I have contentious issues on global warming and what human impact is on it but pollution, I do my best to minimize.

Not that I know of.

Depends on the organization but certain ones, yes.

7) Should people use other safer means to catch fish instead of cyanide and explosives?
Yes.

8) If you had a saltwater tank would you purchase tank raised or tank bred fish intead of wild caught?
I prefer captive raised (not necessarily in the tank) but wild caught are acceptable provided they have a fast reproducing population.

9) How about aquacultered corals and other invertebrates?
Yes, better than removing them from "wild" populations.

10) Do you agree that tank raised/bred fish and aquacultured corals and invertebrates are a good idea?
Yes, less destructive impact on the environment as a whole and to species.
