Richard Ross: Collecting/Farming in Tonga

Sitting down and listening to Richard Ross giving us the inside slant at farming and collecting corals in Tonga was a pleasure. Rich,who besides working at the famous Steinhart Aquarium, California Academy of Sciences is a cephalopod guru. Farming in Tonga is a challenge, for numerous different reasons including the local labor just not wanting to work and the non sustainable methods in which locals gather corals and fish from the local reefs. If you missed out on the cephalopod guru’s presentation you can catch him again at Imac west.
