Agree with the last 3 posts. A big problem with all of this is that there are too many divers visiting the "highlight" reefs, wrecks, etc. Don't know how you can regulate this without affecting the dive op businesses. They're not gunna take divers to less attractive areas. I believe that is why it is very difficult for a shell collector to find a Caribbean op that will allow it--nobody else would be more interested in a reefless sandy bottom where shells hang out. And if even a few collectors take specimens from the same area it reduces the attractiveness to divers, and that reduces dive op income.
But, I guess you could pass laws regulating number of divers to specific spots--why not, we always like to pass new laws anyway.
