FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Scientists claim that they do. A marine reserve protects their experiments. But they need permission from reserve managers in order to do such experiments, even when no harm is done. Scientists need to be able to harvest organisms to study them in the lab. Thes are killed while being dissected. So scientists are not completely at ease with no-take regulations. They complain about the time it takes to obtain permission. Sometimes a research must be done quickly in response to an external event.

In this case I must admit that it is the best lie I have ever come across, and possibly the best lie of the century.
