Title: Amendment 22 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region
Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service in collaboration with the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council published this notice with the intention to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement to describe and analyze a range of alternatives for management actions to be included in Amendment 22 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region. These alternatives will consider measures to establish a long-term red snapper fishery management program in the South Atlantic to optimize yield and rebuild the stock, while minimizing socioeconomic impacts. More specifically, these alternatives will consider the elimination of harvest restrictions on red snapper as the stock increases in biomass. The purpose of this Notice of Intent is to solicit public comments on the scope of issues to be addressed in the Environmental Impact Statement.
