Description:

"The recreational red snapper fishing season opened on June 1, 2010, and closed July 24, 2010. This was the date the 3.403-million pound quota was projected to be met. However, the Deepwater Horizon MC252 oil spill resulted in large area closures where a substantial recreational red snapper harvest traditionally occurs. Therefore, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) requested NOAA Fisheries Service publish an emergency rule allowing the Regional Administrator to re-open the recreational red snapper season after the September 30, 2010, end of the fishing season. Subsequently, the Council requested that NOAA Fisheries Service re-open the recreational red snapper fishing season for eight consecutive weekends (Friday through Sunday) beginning October 1, 2010. The environmental assessment analyzes the impacts of the two proposed actions. The proposed actions are intended to provide an opportunity to harvest the full recreational red snapper quota and provide flexibility in achieving the Council's designated optimum yield for the fishery, thus enhancing social and economic benefits to the fishery"--Cover letter.
