Aldo, I was just kidding about the salmons. Our caves are restricted because nobody else is qualified to dive them and they had their chance and blew it for everyone. I came in with a set of written rules and guidelines, now known as DIR , and they went for it and gave me sole access. Go figure. As with anything, DIR or not at all, and in the case of our caves, that is the law. So long as JJ , Casey and I are alive, nobody will get access there who is not part of the WKPP operating under our rules. I will make a point of seeing that through. I am sick of idiots in cave diving and all the rest of diving. -----Original Message----- From: Aldo Solari [APS] [mailto:aldo.solari@ho*.se*] Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 10:53 PM To: techdiver@aquanaut.com; Trey Subject: Re[2]: UNESCO 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.
