	Overview of the beche-de-mer fishery in Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea
		Milne Bay Province (MBP), at the far eastern tip of Papua New Guinea (PNG) (Figure 1), has a population of approximately 205,000 people and an estimated 32 per cent of the country's total reef area (Munro 1989; Dazell and Wright 1986).
		MBP inhabitants initially avoided these vessels because they had a reputation for mistreating the islanders (Milne Bay Provincial Government 1981), and several incidences between villagers and beche-de-mer traders resulted in loss of life (see Murray 1912; Moore 1992; Kinch 1999).
		Another indicator of overfishing in MBP is the reduction in the proportion of catch of high value species from around 36 per cent in the early 1990s to around 15 per cent by 2002.
