[Coral-List] Help finding heavily overfished reefs in the Caribbean

[Pawlik, Joseph]

Hello, Coral-list members,

We're doing a study of the effects of fishing on sponge and coral communities on reefs in the Caribbean.
We would like to survey continuous fringing, spur-and-grove coral reefs, ~15 m (50 ft) depth, that are intensively fished using fish traps  or seines so that there are virtually no fish on the reef (except damsels, chromis, bait-fish etc).

Have you seen Caribbean reefs specifically like this?  If so, please let me know the locations.

Thanks very much for your help,

Joe
