Re-estimated catches of small-scale, coral-reef fisheries for the major U.S. flag-associated island areas in the 

 western Pacific (Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands [CNMI], and American Samoa), versus 

 the statistics officially reported by these island entities through the Western Pacific Fishery Information Net- 

 work. Both the under-representation of likely total catches, as well as the likely decline in catches is evident 

 in each case. Total re-estimated catches (A) summed over all the major U.S. flag-associated island areas of the 

 western Pacific considered here; (B) for Guam versus the catches reported by Division of Aquatic and Wildlife 

 Resources; (C) for CNMI versus the statistics officially reported by Division of Fish and Wildlife; and (D) for 

 American Samoa versus the statistics officially reported by Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (Figure
