oceans? well, in fact, they're often put in places where there isn't much hard substrate, not much reef around that attracts little fish and then big fish and seals and things, and you'll find that after 30 or a0 years, these structures are really almost entities in themselves and often provide a home to many rare species sojust ripping them out at that point can be problematic, not to mention a huge carbon cost in doing that, so all we are saying is, look at the different options and in the north sea, pretty much the default is remove or else. looking at the different options, yes, but you also have a lot of critics who are saying it's also just an opportunity for oil companies to save money and not natural for sea life to live in hard structures like these. sea life does prosper in these sorts of things and when they're 30 or a0 years old, pretty much all you see is being crusting reef and most of the structure may have disappeared. so i agree with the critics that you need to be very careful in doing this but there is quite a loss in removing structures that are already there. professor dav

ocean. lion fish are an invasive species that are decimated our reef fish. one lion fish can consume up to 65 juvenile reef fish in one sitting. a female can release up to as many as 10 million eggs over the course of one lifetime. this legislation would allow our reef sources to be used to protect our resource, by creating an incentive for fishers who harvest the lion fish and then turn them in to participating states who would choose on a volunteer program to be able to issue tags for one prized coveted reef fish, another fish, in the event that 100 lion fish tails were produced. anyone who goes and slays 100 lion fish certainly has saved far more than one of our prized reef fish and that's why it's my belief that this amendment makes a great deal of sense for our environment and also for the overall health of our fisheries. mr. speaker, at this time i would like to yield one minute to my colleague from florida, mr. soto, the democrat lead on the reef assassin act. the chair: the gentleman from florida is recognized for one minute. society society thank yo
