        <RULE_TITLE>Gulf Reef Fish Amendment 30B</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Amendment 30B addresses the findings of Gulf of Mexico red grouper and gag stock assessments.  Red grouper is not undergoing overfishing and is not overfished.  Gag is undergoing overfishing and whether gag is overfished is still being determined.  This action incorporates both red grouper and gag management measures together as the measures affecting one species invariably affect the other.  The amendment would implement management measures to increase red grouper total allowable catch and to end overfishing of gag.  The amendment also proposes definitions for gag status criteria and reference points.  The amendment also examines grouper accountability measures, closed fishing areas, and ways to reduce discard mortality.]]></ABSTRACT>
