NOAA Fisheries has
announced changes to the red grouper fishery that take effect in May.
The new rule cuts in half the
daily bag limit for red grouper in the Gulf of Mexico from 4 fish a day to 2.
The rule change also remove an
existing accountability measure that reduces the red grouper recreational bag
limit when the previous year's annual catch limit has been exceeded – that is
no longer be needed with the bag limit cut.
The bag limit reduction is
intended to improve recreational fishing opportunities by extending the number
of days in the fishing season.
