Just a reminder to all our members, The Red Snapper Season closes at midnight tonight in Federal and Florida's State waters.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council reminds anglers that the recreational season for Gulf red snapper closes at 12:01 a.m. August 15, 2009. The fishery will reopen June 1, 2010, the beginning of the 2010 federal recreational fishing season.
NOAA Fisheries Service is required to close the recreational red snapper fishery in federal waters when the quota is met or projected to be met. NOAA Fisheries Service has determined this action is necessary to prevent overfishing and to keep the recreational fishery from exceeding its quota during the 2009 fishing year. A detailed summary of the quota closure analysis can be found at: http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/.
The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council is one of eight regional fishery management councils established by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. The Council prepares fishery management plans designed to manage fishery resources in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
