NOAA Fisheries has announced the
2014 Red Snapper Recreational Season in federal waters of the Gulf of
Mexico .
The 2014 Gulf of Mexico red
snapper recreational season will be 40 days, opening on June 1st and closing on
July 11th
That’s about 2 weeks longer than the 2013 season.
The longer season is because the total allowable catch was increased to
11 million pounds.
The commercial sector can harvest 5.6 million pounds, while recreational
fishermen get the remaining 5.4 million pounds.
The recreational quota in 2013 was 4.1 million pounds.
The announcement affects only federal waters.
The Florida Fish and wildlife conservation commission will decide the
season length in state waters.
