Title: Amendment 14 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region | |
Abstract: Amendment 14 would establish a series of 8 Type II Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Federal waters in the South Atlantic. The MPAs range in size from 8 square nautical miles to 150 square nautical miles, and would be distributed from North Carolina south to the Florida Keys. Within the MPAs, fishing for, or retention of, species in the snapper grouper management complex would be prohibited, as would the use of shark bottom longline fishing gear. Trolling for pelagic species such as tuna, dolphin, and mackerel would be allowed within the MPAs. | |
