Abstract

NMFS proposes to implement management measures described in two framework actions under the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), as prepared by the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) Fishery Management Council (Council). If implemented, this proposed rule would modify the state-specific red snapper private angling components annual catch limits (ACLs) to reflect each state’s monitoring program. In addition, this proposed rule would modify commercial and recreational sector and recreational component red snapper ACLs and annual catch targets (ACTs) in the Gulf exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
