United States v. Alexandre Alvarenga-Freire, No. 1:07-CR-20078 (S.D. Fla.), AUSA Tom
Watts-FitzGerald   .
On March 22, 2007, Alexandre Alvarenga-Freire pleaded guilty to an information charging him with a Lacey Act violation in connection with the illegal harvesting and sale in interstate and foreign commerce of Ricordia florida, an invertebrate corallimorph (coral).
Ricordia florida, are prized by aquarists for their varied coloration and the "natural" look they give to tank displays. Both federal and Florida law closely regulate the harvesting and sale of such marine life, requiring that a person who sells salt water marine-related wildlife such as this hold a state wholesale and retail license. Freire had none of the required permits or licenses.
Freire harvesting coral

In November 2006, two German nationals were intercepted at Miami International Airport attempting to export 500 specimens of Ricordia florida for sale through their business in Dusseldorf, Germany. They admitted to investigators that they had been involved with Freire in harvesting the marine life while aboard his vessel, the "PIPPIN", east of Cudjoe Key in Monroe County. Their description made clear the activity had occurred in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Investigators placed a Global Positioning System tracking device on the boat and monitored its location through January 25, 2007, at which point Freire was arrested at Cudjoe Key Marina returning from the Sanctuary with a load of 400 specimens of Ricordia florida. The tracking device placed the harvesting location within the Sanctuary, confirming the information from the German nationals. Further confirmation was acquired by having an Immigration and Customs Enforcement aircraft conduct an overflight of the vessel during the three-day harvesting trip prior to Freire’s arrest.
The Sanctuary is a highly-valued 2,800 square nautical mile area that surrounds the entire archipelago of the Florida Keys and includes the productive waters of Florida Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is home to unique and nationally significant marine environments, including seagrass meadows, mangrove islands, and extensive coral reefs. The cost to remediate the damage caused by the defendant’s removal of the coral from the seabed is estimated to exceed $78,000.
At the sentencing, which is scheduled for June 1, 2007, Freire will forfeit his 1969, 34-foot fiberglass hulled Morgan sailing vessel.
This case was investigated by the United State Fish and Wildlife Service, the NOAA Office for Law Enforcement, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuary Program.
