Update to Red Snapper Calibrations and Gray Snapper Catch Limits

The Framework proposes to 1) update state-specific red snapper private angling component calibration ratios and annual catch limits (ACL) for Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi to provide a more accurate estimate of state landings for red snapper management; and 2) update gray snapper catch limits including the overfishing limit, acceptable biological catch, and ACL based on SEDAR 75 and approved as best scientific information available by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council’s (Council) Scientific and Statistical Committee. There are no potential significant impacts, issues, or problems with the project. This framework and proposed regulation changes are not expected to be controversial.
