Over the past 5 years, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) has focused on the sustainability of aquatic collections among public aquaria and zoos nationwide, and has made major strides in this effort. As a Conservation Partner, The Coral Reef Aquarium Fisheries Campaign is proud to be a part of the solution. Dive deep into the topic in this month's feature article in AZA's Connect magazine: https://zurl.co/UdTG

In March 2024, the IndoReefFish Team convened for a workshop with marine aquarium fishery stakeholders in Indonesia to elevate the conversation of marine aquarium fisheries sustainability to the national level. Learn more about the viewpoint of the fishery from the nation's stakeholders in the latest post on The Campaign's blog, Word on the Reef: https://lnkd.in/eN5urgq7

The Overseas Link: Indonesian marine aquarium fish exporters send fish to countries around the world, where they find their forever homes in home, office, and public aquaria. Indonesia's Marine Fish Exporters Association INOFE convenes the nation's exporters around an ethos of environmentally sustainable practices, and represents its membership to the Indonesian government and fisheries agencies. You can learn more about Indonesia's exporters on the latest post from The Campaign's blog, Word on the Reef: https://zurl.co/3jiz

One after another, a series of scientific experiments continue to show how aquarium traded fishes play vital ecosystem roles on coral reefs, for example: * The cleaner wrasse, which enhances coral reef biodiversity by keeping parasites in check * Damselfishes that bolster corals' resilience to heat stress by providing nutrients and fostering symbiosis with zooxanthellae "By identifying and protecting the heroes and mitigating the damage from the villains, we may just manage to tip the scales in favor of coral reef survival. Will we rise to the challenge? Only time will tell." - S. Gajbhiye The Coral Reef Aquarium Fisheries Campaign is rising to the challenge by working with our members and partners to empower sustainable coral reef aquarium fisheries. Will YOU rise to the challenge? Engage with us and join our cause. You can read the full story on Earth.com: https://zurl.co/koEC

What will happen to the marine aquarium fishes that live on bleached coral reefs? Dr. John Turnbull and his colleagues from the University of Sydney describe it for us: "First, we would expect to see falling numbers of coral-eaters such as butterflyfish. We would then expect to see a drop in coral-dwellers such as the damselfish and gobies living in coral heads. For...algae-eating fish (like surgeonfish and parrotfish), we would expect to see first a rise in numbers, as their populations expand to eat algae, and then...a substantial fall as the overall health, diversity and structure of the reef declines." https://zurl.co/XfLc The time for the aquarium community to dive in and save our coral reef aquarium fisheries is NOW. Join us today at The Coral Reef Aquarium Fisheries Campaign in our vital work to conserve the coral reefs that your aquarium fish call home.

Traditional Owners are leading the way in protecting the Great Barrier Reef through an integrated monitoring and reporting program in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Their invaluable knowledge and co-developed strategies are vital in monitoring fish populations and safeguarding the reef’s future. This partnership highlights the importance of indigenous wisdom in environmental conservation. #GreatBarrierReef #ReefConservation #TraditionalKnowledge #AIMS #CoralReefs #ReefFisheries #AquariumFisheries https://zurl.co/1CPQ

Lionfish populations have surged throughout the Eastern Seaboard, the Caribbean, and around the Gulf of Mexico. They've even expanded into the Meditteranean. They're a problem. They are voracious predators, eating whatever reef fishes and invertebrates they can fit into their mouths, and they're very prolific. They're eating the biodiversity out of coral reefs throughout the Western Hemisphere. Their introduction to Western oceans likely originated, at least in part, from wild releases of pet aquarium fish. Fisheries agencies try to manage this nuisance species by promoting unrestricted fishing of the species, and organizing fishing derbies. While these efforts may make a dent, invasive populations continue to grow. Given its likely role in the introduction of this invasive species, what is the role and responsibility, now, of the marine aquarium community in responding to this ecological crisis? How can the community come together to work with government and environmental organizations to conserve the coral reefs that are the reason for the community's existence? We'd love to hear your thoughts. https://zurl.co/XmDI
