Protecting For Profits

In Fiji locals grow "live rock" for aquarium trade with university help:

"Instead of breaking off pieces of live coral reef substrate - called 'live rock' - for sale to the saltwater aquarium industry, villagers planted a crop of synthetic rock that becomes naturally covered by desirable species. Villagers recently harvested it."

KUDOS!! Protecting their reefs and gaining such valuable economic benefits for the locals. More methods like this ought to be implemented throughout the world and many other areas of the aquarium trade industry.
