Economic valuation of coral reefs

[Stephen C. Jameson]

Dear Jason, 

Dr. Nanette Chadwick-Furman and her students are doing some interesting  
work on the correlation between scuba diving and physical damage to coral  
reefs in the Red Sea.  This along with other factors will be useful in  
determining carrying capacity.  Contact her at:
