Off florida and the turks not destroying the reefs and killing the sea creatures was really harped on. When we went off the channel islands, we saw people beating on things with their knives, shooting at anything that moved with spear guns...just a different kind of people or diving, how ever you want to look at it.

Yep, up here everyone seems conservation minded and the fish are really comfortable without being too "domesticated" as a result. I thought I would be all into getting into the spearfishing end (lord knows I love the sushi) but as soon as I swam with the fishes I lost the urge to kill them and now just want to get a camera.
I am not opposed to grabbing a crab or lobster though when it is legal to do so...
