Pacific coral harvest/enforcement questions

[Gene Buck]

Coral Group:

          I'm seeking answers to a couple of questions for a U.S. Congressional office.  I've sent this same query to the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council, but would like to see from whom or where else I might be able to find information on any of the following:

           I'm looking for a breakdown of recent (last few years) coral harvest statistics for U.S. Pacific Island areas; and  

           I'd like to find some discussion or highlighting of any enforcement issues related to coral resource management in U.S. Pacific Island areas.

            Thanks for any information you can provide.
