From September 24 to October 4, 1981, the Miami Laboratory of the Southeast Fisheries Center (NOAA), and the Harbor Branch Foundation, Inc., Ft. Pierce, Florida, carried out a cooperative survey of wire fish-trap fishing grounds off south Florida utilizing a manned submersible, JOHNSON-SEA-LINK I. Primary survey objectives were to determine the distribution and condition of derelict and ghost fish-traps and to make assessments of their effect on reef habitats and fishery resources. Derelict traps are defined as fish traps that fisherman cannot locate and retrieve but that are incapable of catching fish because of structural damage or deterioration. Ghost traps are lost traps still capable of catching fish (Smolowitz 1978).\ The final version of this manuscript is published by http://goms.disl.org/ and may be cited as: Sutherland, D.
