"Amendment 41 to the Snapper Grouper FMP proposes to modify management of mutton snapper in the South Atlantic to respond to a recent stock assessment and protect mutton snapper during the spawning season. Actions in the amendment include the modification of management benchmarks and allowable fishing levels. The amendment would also designate the 'spawning months' (during which stricter regulations may apply), modify the minimum size limit, recreational bag limit, and commercial trip limit"--Introduction.
"Regulatory Amendment 14 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region (Snapper Grouper FMP) proposes actions to: (1) modify the commercial and recreational fishing years for greater amberjack; (2) modify the recreational fishing year for black sea bass; (3) modify the recreational accountability measure (AM) for black sea bass; (4) modify the commercial fishing year for black sea bass; (5) change the commercial fishing seasons for vermilion snapper; (6) modify the trip limit for gag; and (7) modify the recreational AM for vermilion snapper"--Summary (page S1).
"The most recent assessment for the red grouper in the South Atlantic indicates that the stock is experiencing overfishing and is overfished (SEDAR 19 2010). When a stock is undergoing overfishing, fishery managers must implement management measures to end overfishing. In cases where stocks are overfished, the Councils and NOAA Fisheries Service must implement rebuilding plans. NOAA Fisheries Service notified the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (South Atlantic Council) of the status of the red grouper stock on June 9, 2010. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) requires the implementation of measures within two years of notification. Therefore, a rebuilding plan for red grouper in the South Atlantic must be in place by June 2012 to end overfishing and rebuild the stock. Besides establishing a rebuilding plan, the South Atlantic Council is proposing the implementation or revision of the following items through this amendment: (1) maximum sustainable yield (2) minimum stock size threshold (3) rebuilding schedule (4) rebuilding strategy and acceptable biological catch (5) allocations (6) annual catch limits and optimum yield (7) annual catch targets (8) accountability measures"--Executive summary.
