Title: Framework Action to Revise Recreational Accountability Measures for Red Snapper 
Abstract: To address the court ruling in Guindon v. Pritzker, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council developed this framework action that established two accountability measures for the recreational red snapper sector. The first recreational accountability measure action established an annual catch target that is lower than the quota/annual catch limit and set the recreational season length based on the annual catch target. Previously, the season length was set based on the quota/annual catch limit. The second recreational accountability measure action established an overage adjustment to mitigate the effects of any overage by reducing the quota/annual catch limit in the following year.
