Although we're surrounded by water, Hawaii's fisheries budget is among
the smallest of all 50 states (and the District of Columbia for that
matter). I need to prepare some testimony to that effect, and would like
to obtain fisheries budgets from as many states as possible to bolster my
case. Any information (phone numbers, contacts persons, etc.) would be
greatly appreciated.

Mike, I recall reading an article in the AFS publication _Fisheries_ a 
couple or three years ago detailing exactly the information you seek.  I 
don't maintain an archive of them, so I can't be more precise than that, 
but you may be able to contact the periodical directly.

A good place to start is the National Wildlife Federation in Washington
D.C.  they have an 800 number. Also get in touch with the National Marine
Fisheries in D.C.. Use the crawler on W.W.W.. Contact your sea grant
office.

For the fiscal year that began in July of 1995, Alaska's budget is
    $17,820,000 for the Sport Fisheries Division, and 
    $42,118,000 for the Commercial Fisheries Division.

This is from Chapter 94 from the Session Laws of Alaska, p. 31.

I didn't reply through private e-mail because I thought it would
be interesting to others to see how these things vary across states.
