Scott, I'm interested in how many people are taking these fish ID classes, not just that they are offered. I've found so many divers (including instructors, and on occasion myself!) who really don't know what they're looking at. If they care to change that, great... let's offer more post-certification education.
BarryNL... unfortunately you may be right regarding the ultimate direction we are taking with respect to the environment. I believe in the words of Gary Snyder (from Earth Household back in 1969 I believe, but maybe it was the environmental manifesto, Four Changes): "Knowing that nothing need be done is where we begin to work (move?) from."
