Regulatory Amendment 34 to the Snapper-Grouper FMP of the South Atlantic Region

The proposed actions in this framework amendment would designate 30 artificial reef sites in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off North Carolina and four artificial reef sites in the EEZ off South Carolina as special management zones (SMZ). The proposed actions would also prohibit the use of certain gear types in the SMZs and limit harvest to the recreational bag limit by some or all of the gear.
