I think people are misreading. The problem isnt because she specifically caught the giant clams. ANY sea life hunted/captured or consumed within the reserves waters are protected. While I'm sure park officials informed the producers, I wonder if that message was effectively given out to the rest of the cast and crew. Also was there maybe a mess up in translation if a translator might of been used. Also at the same time maybe the producers just didnt care at the time of filming and figured that they would never find out, or better yet that they wouldnt do anything when they do find out. I'm sure the government knows how messy it could get if they were to press charge against everyone involved, which is why they are simply sticking to the person that actually caught the clams.
I feel like they really need to research more about the locations that they are filming at, maybe even have a guide or biologists with them that is from around the area that is well informed. It's silly that they didnt even have one before. And it's exactly why the cast member is in this situation at the moment.
