Wondering why would that person want to do with the fish collected? I
assume the site being trashed means the collecter collects loads of
fish.
My experience in other part of the world where fishes are generally
not protected is that telling exact collecting locales around too much
often results in commercial collecter wannabees (and sometimes real
ones too) collect the fish to the point of the destruction of the
fish, the locale, and the economy of such wannabees.
