    We are conducting surveys of trap distributions, targeted habitats, trap damage to coral reefs and associated habitats, and spatial/temporal distribution of catches. Field work was conducted with local partners: FWCC in Florida Keys; UPR-M in Puerto Rico (included in this data set); and USVI Fish and Wildlife Division in US Virgin Islands (included in this data set).
