NMFS proposes to implement management measures described in Amendment 36A to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf), as prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council. The proposed rule would require owners or operators of federally permitted commercial Gulf reef fish vessels landing any commercially harvested, federally managed reef fish from the Gulf to provide notification prior to landing and to land at approved locations, as well as other management actions. The purpose of the proposed rule is to improve compliance and increase management flexibility in the red snapper, and groupers and tilefishes individual fishing quota programs, and increase the likelihood of achieving optimum yield for Gulf reef fish stocks managed under these programs.
