It appears that there are many suitable areas for tropical 

 specimen collectors to catch tropical fish and invertebrates in Florida; 

 including shallow inshore areas, inshore coral heads, mid-channel reefs 

 (in the middle of Hawk's Channel), and the entire outer reef. This alter- 

 native would cause limited economic loss to present commercicfl collectors. 



The total economic loss of revenue per year as estimated in 

 the socio-economic analysis for Boundary Alternative #2, would be $25,000 

 to $43,000 or $80,075 to $137,729 using regional multipliers. At least 

 some of this loss could be made up by collecting elsewhere.
