Description:

"The proposed actions analyzed in this environmental assessment would eliminate the fixed recreational red snapper closed season of October 1-December 31, and set the 2012 and 2013 quotas for commercial and recreational harvest of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico. Results from the red snapper update assessment in 2009, and projection updates in 2011 and 2012, indicate that the red snapper stock is no longer undergoing overfishing and the acceptable biological catch (ABC) can be increased from 7.185 million pounds (mp) whole weight to 8.080 mp whole weight for 2012 and to 8.690 mp whole weight for 2013. The increase in 2013 would be contingent on the 2012 ABC not being exceeded. The environmental assessment analyzes the impacts of the proposed actions . By itself, this amendment is not controversial because the quota will be increased. This increase is sufficiently less than the overfishing limit such that the probability of overfishing is minimal . A determination of the season length will not be finalized until all 2011 recreational landings data are available for analysis"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
