Title: Regulatory Amendment 14 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region
Abstract: The purpose of Regulatory Amendment 14 was to enhance socioeconomic benefits to fishermen and fishing communities that utilize the snapper-grouper fishery. Specifically, this rulemaking modified the fishing year for greater amberjack, increased the minimum size limit for hogfish, modified the fishing year for black sea bass, changed the commercial fishing season for vermilion snapper, modified the aggregate grouper bag limit, and revised the accountability measures for gag and vermilion snapper. Modifying the accountability measures for gag and vermilion snapper enhances consistency and accuracy in the approach taken when the annual catch limit is met or projected to be met for these species.
