Title: Comprehensive Annual Catch Limits Amendment to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region
Abstract: This amendment establishes Annual Catch Limits (ACLs) and Accountability Measures (AMs) for species not undergoing overfishing, including management measures to reduce the probability that catches will exceed the stocks' ACLs pursuant to reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) requirements. Actions include removal of species from the South Atlantic Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Unit; designating some Snapper Grouper species as ecosystem component species; considering multi-species groupings for specifying ACLs, ACTs, and AMs; specifying allocations among the commercial, recreational, and for-hire sectors for species not undergoing overfishing; and modifying management measures to limit total mortality to the ACL.
