Description:The purpose of this amendment is to modify the management unit for hogfish, specify fishing levels based on the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s Scientific and Statistical Committee recommendations for the Georgia-North Carolina and Florida Keys/East Florida stocks of hogfish, and modify or establish management measures. For the Florida Keys/East Florida stock of hogfish, this amendment would establish a rebuilding plan to increase hogfish biomass to sustainable levels within a specified time period based on results of the recent stock assessment. The need for this amendment is to align the management boundaries for hogfish with the best available science (i.e., genetic information), and end overfishing and rebuild the FloridaKeys/East Florida stock of hogfish while minimizing, to the extent practicable, adverse social and economic effects.
