Description:The first accountability measure (Action 1) is to establish an annual catch target (ACT) that is lower than the quota/annual catch limit (ACL) and set the recreational season length based on the ACT. Currently, the season length is set based on the quota/ACL. The second accountability measure (Action 2) is to establish an overage adjustment to mitigate the effects of the overage by reducing the ACL in the following year. This action follows National Standard 1 guidelines for stocks in rebuilding plans like red snapper.
