[Coral-List] Info needed: Socio-economic importance & perceptions of coral health: US coral reeefs

[Steven Lutz]

Dear Coral-List,

I am looking for information about:

1) Up to date papers illustrating the economic worth of US coral reefs.

2) Any perceptions collected from the general public concerning the state of
US coral reef health.

I am looking for papers that clearly illustrate this information. Please
send me available PDF's, information, or links.

This is for work in the reauthorization the Coral Reef Conservation Act. I
need such to be able to advocate for meaningful conservation "teeth" to this
legislation.

Much appreciated
