Second, the interaction between over-fishing and disease in the marine environment is not an exclusively modern phenomenon. Understanding synergistic stresses on structural elements of the marine community is central to environmental conservation, particularly in coral reef ecosystems that have been plagued by various unknown diseases. At its peak, the fishery in the northern Caribbean removed 47 million pounds (lb) of live sponge annually, and over-fishing was evident in both quantitative and qualitative descriptions of the fishery in Florida.

However, a complication with INVASIVE OR NATIVE SPECIES ? 2 Expected number of haplotypes in Europe versus North America per sampling effort from the Wares et al (2002) haplotype dataset Notes: The total number of haplotypes expected in each population was found using the Chao2 estimator, which predicts the eventual asymptote in haplotype richness for a particular population (Gotelli and Colwell, 2001) by including the effects of rare species on the total haplotype richness. This figure portrays the expected number of haplotypes (n) as a function of sampling effort (number of sample sites) for Europe (EU) and North America (NA).
