survivin, as you are probably aware, coral reefs are a bad idea for recreational fishing. Most of these fishermen like to anchor when they fish, and that means that the destroy part of the reef every time they pull their anchors in. "Mushroom" type anchors usually don't cut it on a reef, they don't hold that well and they tend to get hung and can't be retrieved. The $238 billion looks good though. At nearly $1 million per fisherman, that would make recreational fishing in Hawaii a major factor in the US economy with a HUGE profit margin...
