"Amendment 41 to the Snapper Grouper FMP proposes to modify management of mutton snapper in the South Atlantic to respond to a recent stock assessment and protect mutton snapper during the spawning season. Actions in the amendment include the modification of management benchmarks and allowable fishing levels. The amendment would also designate the 'spawning months' (during which stricter regulations may apply), modify the minimum size limit, recreational bag limit, and commercial trip limit"--Introduction.

"The South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council (South Atlantic Council) is concerned that regulations implementing several recent snapper grouper amendments could increase the incentive to fish for black sea bass. Therefore, the South Atlantic Council is proposing management measures that would limit participation in the black sea bass component of the snapper grouper fishery and slow the rate of harvest to prevent the progressive shortening of the commercial and recreational fishing seasons. The South Atlantic Council is also concerned about the accuracy, timing, and quantity of fisheries data and is proposing management measures that would improve fisheries data"--Abstract.
