Amendment 50 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Snapper Grouper Fishery of the South Atlantic Region

Amendment 50 would modify management of South Atlantic red porgy. Actions include establishing a new rebuilding plan, and revising the acceptable biological catch, annual catch limits, annual optimum yield, sector allocations, accountability measures, and management measures for the commercial and recreational sectors. Amendment 50 would end overfishing of South Atlantic red porgy, rebuild the stock, and achieve optimum yield while minimizing, to the extent practicable, adverse social and economic effects.
