Hello,

I am putting together a Mediterranean marine aquarium. I am a scuba diver and I would like to collect my own fish and coral, would I need a license since I will be using scuba tanks?.... I will only collect a few small damsels, wrasses and a few pieces of coral but I don't know if I still need some sort of license for that. Does anybody know?

Thanks.

Hi
As long as the fish are of a legal size you can collect
regarding coral it is protected under law and can not be harvested without proper permission.
you would have to talk to cites at mepa for more information

Thanks for the reply,

Yes I've just been told that coral is protected, so I will not collect any coral.

Il-qroll ma kienx se jzommlok haj xorta wahda,u meta jmut hu,joqtollok kollox.Tista tixtri qroll artificjali u wara ftit,irabbi l-haxix mieghu u jidher izjed naturali.
