I am sorry but I think I agree with the general tone of their argument.

I really don't see why it is necessary to collect such large species as Melo melo in a high population and obviously also polluted place like Changi, Singapore. Especially so in the intertidal area's!
It would be nice for local familes to be able to go down there and see some interesting marine life.

I am a responsible collector myself but would never dream of taking something like a melo melo, let alone from an area like that.

My two cents worth.
