Five kilos of powdered sea cucumber, confiscated by Customs at Tocumen Airport. Panama bans the collection, possession and sale of the species of that genus of marine life, which are particularly valuable in Asian markets. The ban is there because sea cucumbers play important roles in the lives of coral reefs and Asian fishing fleets have stripped many places clean of them. Panama’s bad experience was in the 1990s, when a fleet owned by the late Reverend Sun Myung Moon too a lot of them out of Panama’s Caribbean waters. These particular invertebrates, distantly related to the starfish, were captured off of and rendered into powder in Africa.
