Protection for Species
Just one bird species, the white tern, is currently listed as protected under the Environmental Protection and Preservation Act. Under the Fisheries Law, however, several species have been identified to receive protection against exploitation, trade and/or export as illustrated below. In addition, harvesting giant clams, black coral and pearl oysters from the wild has been banned, and the collection of sea cucumbers is now restricted.

Species banned from exploitation, kill or catch of any kind:

• Loggerhead turtle
• Green turtle
• Hawksbill turtle
• Olive Ridley turtle
• Leatherback turtle
• Dolphin
• Black coral
• Whale
• Whale shark
• Spiny lobster
• Triton shell
• Giant clam
• Napoleon wrasse

Species banned from export:

• Black coral
• Pearl oyster
• Trochus shell
• Storny coral
• Eel
• Triton shell
• Bait fish
• Bigeye scad
• Parrot fish
• Sea turtle
• Puffer fish
• Dolphin
• Whale
• Rays

Given their commercial value, the government has also passed a range of measures to protect rare and valuable species of aquarium fish. In particular, aquarium fish exports fall into one of three categories: i) trade is completely banned; ii) restricted trade is permitted on the basis of quotas; and iii) free trade. Under this type of protection, aquarium fish species are accorded different levels of protection based on their categorisation within a core, interface or utilisation zone.

So what the hell is the local national handicraft shop, owned by Ministry of Trade in STO violating what the government itself did????
