entry and exit. The entry trigger exceeds the variable cost plus the interest<br />

on the entry cost, and the exit trigger is less than the variable cost minus<br />

the interest on the exit cost. These gaps produce "hysteresis." Numerical<br />

solutions are obtained for several parameter values; hysteresis is found to be<br />

significant even with small sunk costs.<br />

Subsidies for Entry Promotion and Deterrence." The American<br />

Economic review, 75(1);139-152.<br />

The aim <strong>of</strong> this paper is to begin analysis <strong>of</strong> the functioning <strong>of</strong><br />

international markets and the role <strong>of</strong> policies towards them. To model the<br />

issues adequately, the potential for strategic behavior on part <strong>of</strong> both<br />

governments and firms must be taken into the account. Furthermore, it is<br />

important to recognize that the strategies <strong>of</strong> governments interact with those<br />

<strong>of</strong> rims. The appropriate model is therefore a game-theoretic one, with the<br />

governments and the firms as the players.<br />

Effort Associated with the United States South Atlantic Headboat<br />

Fleet, 1972-1982." United States Department <strong>of</strong> Commerce, National<br />

Beaufort, NC.<br />

This report presents estimates <strong>of</strong> the catch made and effort expended by<br />

anglers fishing from headboats that have operated along the U.S. south<br />

Atlantic coast since 1972. The estimates result from data collected through<br />

the south Atlantic headboat survey. The survey, conducted by the Beaufort<br />

Laboratory, Southeast Fisheries Center, National Marine Fisheries Service and<br />

begun in 1972, was designed to provide such indices <strong>of</strong> the quality <strong>of</strong> reef<br />

fishing as a measure <strong>of</strong> the annual catch, <strong>of</strong> the catch per unit <strong>of</strong> effort and<br />

<strong>of</strong> the mean size by species. Additionally, survey personnel collected<br />

biological materials to support studies <strong>of</strong> growth, diet and reproduction <strong>of</strong><br />

important reef fishes.<br />

mydas, in Florida - A Hopeful Trend?" <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> Endangered<br />

Species, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, D.C.<br />

Except for accounts <strong>of</strong> Audubon and Brice in the 1800's, reliable records<br />

<strong>of</strong> the nesting <strong>of</strong> the green turtle do not occur in the <strong>literature</strong>. Even these<br />

accounts focus on populations in the Keys and the Cape Sable region.<br />

Beginning with the report <strong>of</strong> two nests prior to 1959, the number <strong>of</strong> nests<br />

recorded in Florida has steadily increased; at least 366 nests were confirmed<br />

in 1980. The majority <strong>of</strong> nests occurred from Merritt Island south to Key<br />

Biscayne, most <strong>of</strong> which were laid on relatively undisturbed beaches. Five<br />

reasons can be advanced for this apparent increase: increased surveillance <strong>of</strong><br />

nesting beaches, increased awareness <strong>of</strong> sea turtles and their problems,<br />

protective legislation, the success <strong>of</strong> a head starting program located on<br />

Hutchinson Island, and the possibility that some turtles are immigrating from<br />

populations further south. While better surveillance and public awareness may<br />

be responsible for perception <strong>of</strong> an increasing turtle population, it is likely<br />

that the increase is real and has resulted form a combination <strong>of</strong> the latter<br />

three reasons. A review <strong>of</strong> the level <strong>of</strong> historical green turtle nesting, as<br />

well as a year by year record <strong>of</strong> nesting since 1959, is provided.<br />
