Title: Amendment 46 to the Fishery Management Plan for Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico to Establish a Gray Triggerfish Rebuilding Plan 
Abstract: Following a 2015 NMFS determination of the lack of adequate progress in rebuilding the Gulf gray triggerfish stock, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council had two years under the Magnuson Stevens Act to develop actions to rebuild the affected stock. The Council has now proposed to amend the Fishery Management Plan to focus on the stock's rebuilding. This action implements that amendment. The action establishes a 9-year rebuilding time period; retains the current gray triggerfish annual catch limits and annual catch targets for the recreational and commercial sectors; modifies the recreational fixed closed season, recreational bag limit, recreational size limit, and commercial trip limit.
