George,  I  meant  salmons-in-the-wild  (like many other animals,
plants and (eco, geo)-systems in the US, protected by the Gov.).

My  point  is  that regulation may be necessary for preservation.
Sometimes,   it   may   become  a  must.  The  impact  of  a huge
population of divers over certain systems may be devastating.

If  no  restrictions  apply  in  research and other special areas
(cave   systems,   certain  reefs,  wrecks,  etc.)  many  of  the
uneducated,  uncivil  or  careless  divers can destroy invaluable
resources.

For   instance,  there  could  well  be  access  restrictions  to
non-research  parties  in  cave  systems studied by the WKPP: the
joint effort is significative and your research has been going on
for  years. These aspects could well give the status of "research
field" to the caves where the WKPP conducts research.

Cheers,

T> Aldo,  we  can see salmons in any grocery store, we don't need
