Hello:

I am chairman of St. Lucia's diving association and run Scuba St. Lucia
here in St. Lucia. We are having another boundary dispute with fishermen.
A key element of where to place the boundary is allowing enough of a
non-reef buffer zone between the area where fish are taken and the coral
reefs.

Does anyone have any valid information from scientific studies which seem
to indicate minimum distances between the 2 areas?

If so, would you please forward any pertinent information to me at the
above address?

Thank you for your help.
