Description:"The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA) requires NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Gulf Council to prevent overfishing, and achieve, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from federally managed fish stocks. Red grouper are not undergoing overfishing and are not considered overfished. Gag is undergoing overfishing and is considered overfished. This action incorporates both red grouper and gag management measures as actions affecting one species invariably affect the other. Amendment 32 would consider: Rebuilding plans for the gag stock; establishing or modifying recreational bag limits, size limits, and closed seasons for gag and red grouper; applying commercial gag quota adjustments to account for dead discards; adjusting multi-use individual fishing quota shares (allocation); changing the commercial gag size limit; establishing time and area closures; and modifying current gag, red grouper, and shallow-water grouper accountability measures"--Executive Summary (page v).
