This should sicken anyone who has ever been to Komodo, not to mention anyone who has dived in a healthy ocean environment anywhere ... pretty clear evidence of dynamite and cyanide.

As an aside, we were diving last month at Gam, in Raja Ampat, when we clearly heard and felt a dynamite blast. It was pretty unmistakable. This was early morning on February 25th, I believe. If you're not vocal yet about these practices, and supporting ways to educate fishermen about how protecting the marine environment will increase fish stocks, it's time to start.
 
The difference is so much just within a year. This is sad indeed
