Framework Action under the Fishery Management Plan for Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico: Modification of Gray Triggerfish Commercial Trip Limits

This action proposes to change the Gulf of Mexico commercial trip limit for gray triggerfish from 16 to 25 fish in light of an increase in the commercial annual catch limit (ACL). Projections indicate increasing the trip limit will not lead to early closures of the fishery or exceedance of commercial ACL. No potential significant impacts or any known issues or problems with the project have been determined at this time. The action is supported by the affected fishery and is not expected to lead to overfishing.
