Description:"The Gulf of Mexico red snapper recreational fishing season opens each year on June 1 and closes when the recreational annual catch targets (ACTs) are projected to be reached. Amendment 40 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (RF-40) established separate ACTs for the federal for-hire and private angler components. Prior to June 1 each year, NOAA Fisheries projects the closing dates for each component's season based on previous years of data, and notifies the public of the closing dates for the upcoming seasons. Upon implementation of Amendment 28 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (RF-28), the ACTs for 2016 will be 2,434,000 pounds whole weight (lb ww) to the federal for-hire component and 3,320,000 lb ww to the private angler component"--Executive summary.
