Title: ●Regulatory Amendment 28 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region | |
Abstract:
Recent stock assessments for golden tilefish in the South Atlantic indicate that the stock is undergoing overfishing but is not overfished. As mandated by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, NMFS and the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council must take action to end overfishing of golden tilefish - the Council by preparing a Fishery Management Plan amendment and NMFS by developing implementing regulations for the Councils chosen action. This rulemaking would implement the Councils Regulatory Amendment 28 to the South Atlantic Snapper-Grouper Fishery Management Plan, which will modify the annual catch limits for golden tilefish to end overfishing in Federal waters of the South Atlantic. As per the Amendment, this rulemaking would reduce the total annual catch limit, the commercial and recreational sector annual catch limits, and the quotas for the hook-and-line and longline components of the commercial sector. |
