Description:The purpose of this amendment is to modify the gray triggerfish rebuilding plan based on new information from the 2011 Update Assessment, which determined that the stock was not rebuilding on target. This amendment would reduce the commercial and recreational annual catch targets to 60,900 and 217,100 pounds whole weight, respectively. To meet the necessary reductions, a fixed closed season from June 1 through July 31 would be established for the commercial and recreational sectors. In addition, this amendment would implement a commercial trip limit of 12 gray triggerfish, establish a recreational bag limit of 2-gray triggerfish per angler bag limit within the 20 reef fish aggregate, and modify the recreational accountability measures.
