Leaving unexploded ordanances amungst reefs might be an excellent way to keep people from mucking with them. :)

Many People in Canada Tranship from LA, but there are transhippers in Canada too. ReefRaft.ca is one, but there are a few in toronto and Vancouver. If you want to import directly, from an exporter, you basically just have to find one that can issue CITES permits and get his lists. Look in the...
