SUMMARY: This action increases the Georges Bank (GB) yellowtail flounder trip limit to 5,000 lb

Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and is intended to increase the likelihood of harvesting the total
allowable catch (TAC) for GB yellowtail flounder without exceeding it during the 2009 fishing year.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of
Mexico; Red Snapper Management Measures
ACTION: Proposed rule; request for comments
[TEXT] [PDF]
SUMMARY: NMFS issues this proposed rule that would implement a regulatory amendment to the
Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) prepared by the
Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). This proposed rule would increase the
commercial and recreational quotas for red snapper and provide an estimated closure date for the 2010
recreational red snapper component of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) reef fish fishery. The intended effect
of the proposed rule is to help achieve optimum yield (OY) by relaxing red snapper harvest limitations
consistent with the findings of the recent stock assessment for this species.
