Gulf of Mexico Fishery management Council to consider regional red snapper management

The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council is considering a plan to allow the regional management of recreational red snapper fishing and has scheduled a series of workshops around the Southeast to discuss the issue.

That would enable areas of the Gulf to propose management measures for recreational red snapper fishing that would tailored to specific regions.

The Gulf Council has scheduled scoping workshops around the Gulf of Mexico to get public input on a proposed amendment.

The workshops will address regional management issues, including locally optimal management measures, regional boundaries, allocation, and other issues.

  

Seven scoping workshops are scheduled around the Gulf.

The closest one to our area will be held on January 17 from 6 till 9 central time at the Destin Community Center.
