Title: Regulatory Amendment to the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Fishery Management Plan To Set 2010 Management Measures for Red Snapper  
Abstract: The 2009 update stock assessment of the Gulf of Mexico red snapper stock indicated that although the stock is still overfished, the stock is rebuilding and overfishing was projected to end in 2009. Based on their review of the assessment update, the Gulf Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee recommended total allowable catch (TAC) could be increased. The purpose of this regulatory amendment is to adjust TAC and the resulting recreational and commercial quotas consistent with the goals and objectives of the Council's red snapper rebuilding plan and achieve the mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
