Aquarist Certification - like SCUBA's PADI?
I just left a lfs where NO adult was there... just a 16 yr old bagging corals/fish for people and ringing them up. This lady pointed to 4 corals she wanted - "and one of those green thingies" (pointing to green star polyps)
So my question... if she can't even name a simple coral, should she have any place keeping it or other corals? Would a certification program like PADI for either customers or employees even help people be more responsible?
I'm also not sure why scuba and rare animal certifications (like cats) are required but nothing for our hobby which takes animals from the wild.
