Recent Report: Nautiluses Vulnerable to even LOW Exploitation

 TRAFFIC Report on the Nautilus Trade and How to go Forward 

TRAFFIC, an organization that monitors trade of animals, released its findings on the nautilus shell trade. In short, (1) nautilus fishing still occurs, EVEN in areas with laws prohibiting it, (2) nautiluses reproduce VERY SLOW, (3) and that the WORLD WIDE TRADE IS A THREAT TO THE CONSERVATION OF NAUTILUSES.

One objective was clear: SURVEY more areas to find out the current state of nautilus populations.
