Description:
The purpose of this amendment is to modify the allowable harvest for the Gulf of Mexico red grouper stock, based upon the Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) review and recommendations of the most recent SEDAR Red Grouper Stock Assessment (SEDAR 42, 2015). The need for this amendment is to adjust the allowable harvest based upon the best available science and manage red grouper at a level that achieves optimum yield (OY) and that prevents overfishing from occurring.
