Hawaii's state land board voted down a plan to bring back commercial aquarium fish collecting, a win for reef protection advocates and a loss for the aquarium trade.

• The board rejected reopening commercial collection of live fish from Hawaii's reefs.
• Taking reef fish for the aquarium trade has been banned for years over environmental damage.
• State aquatic resources staff had backed the plan, putting them at odds with the board.
• Regulators say they will take up the issue again later.

Outlook: The ban stays in place for now, but a revised proposal is likely to return to the board.
