Description:"The purpose is to address inconsistencies in recreational minimum size limits for gag and black grouper in South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters; to modify the gag recreational fishing season to allow the recreational ACL in the Gulf of Mexico to be landed without being exceeded, and to synchronize the opening of the recreational gag fishing season with the opening of the recreational red snapper season. The need is to minimize confusion among anglers over inconsistent size regulations for gag and black grouper, to allow the recreational sector to harvest gag and black grouper at a level consistent with achieving optimum yield while preventing overfishing, to address social and economic impacts of keeping the recreational gag fishing season open to achieve optimum yield, and to optimize recreational opportunities to catch multiple target species on the same trip"--Introduction.
