 carefully the potential problems if reefs are not constructed with 

 care and of specific materials. Further, they would be most beneficial 

 in areas of low productivity or where existing fishing by recreation- 

 ists is less than adequate. Reef formation is not yet a fully accepted 

 practice and increased catches of fishes lately reported in the liter- 

 ature remain only of general value until the true relationship of reefs 

 to production is fully understood. 



Sincerely,
