Modifications to Mutton Snapper and Gag Management Measures Framework

This framework action will establish for mutton snapper annual catch limits for 2017-2020, remove the annual catch target, modify the recreational bag limit, and modify the recreational and commercial minimum size limit. This action would also make the commercial and recreational minimum size limit for gag consistent between state and federal waters within multiple regions.

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council accepted this document during a meeting in June 2017.
