Description:"The purpose of this action is to withhold a percentage of the 2016 commercial ACL of red snapper equivalent to the portion of the total ACL proposed for redistribution from the commercial sector to the recreational sector in Amendment 28. The need for this action is to allow NMFS to implement a decrease in the red snapper commercial quota for the 2016 fishing year, by only distributing to shareholders the exact portion of the 2016 red snapper commercial quota that the Council selected in Amendment 28. NMFS annually distributes the red snapper commercial quota around January 1 for that fishing year. This action would further the Council's mandate to prevent overfishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from federally managed fish stocks, to take into account the importance of fishery resources to fishing communities, and to provide for sustained participation of such communities, and to rebuild stocks that have been determined to be overfished"--Introduction (page 1).
