Title: ●Specification of Annual Catch Limits for Red Snapper in the South Atlantic Region; Temporary Measure through Emergency Action 
Abstract:

This temporary measure through emergency action will allow limited harvest of red snapper in the South Atlantic in 2017. Currently, the commercial and recreational annual catch limit (ACL) for red snapper in the South Atlantic is zero. The action will specify a commercial and recreational ACL for a limited harvest of red snapper in 2017. The action is needed to reduce, to the extent practicable, existing adverse socio-economic impacts to fishermen and fishing communities that utilize the red snapper portion of the snapper grouper fishery, without overfishing, and while continuing to rebuild the stock as per the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
