Default Possible snapper quota changes

Citing new data that shows overfishing ended in 2009, the NOAA Fisheries Service is seeking public comment on a proposal to increase the commercial and recreational quotas of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico. The increase would be from the existing 5.0 million pounds (MP) to 6.945 MP. The proposed rule would adjust the commercial and recreational quotas to 3.542 MP and 3.403 MP, respectively, consistent with the 51:49 ratio for the commercial and recreational allocation of red snapper. The proposed rule also includes a projected recreational season opening June 1. The closure date is tentatively defined as July 24 based on the preliminary data and may be adjusted in the final rule.
