Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 184 / Friday, September 21, 2012 / Notices
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
modifications to regulations addressing
recreational fishing for gag and shallowwater grouper. Alternatives being
considered to modify the recreational
gag fishing season would change the
starting date for the recreational gag
season from July 1 to an earlier time
when there is greater demand to fish for
gag, or would split the season into two
or three sub-seasons. Changing the
season to times when there is greater
demand may reduce the number of
fishing days relative to the status quo,
so suboptions within the alternatives
consider either retaining the current gag
bag limit of 2 fish per person within the
4-fish aggregate shallow-water grouper
bag limit, or reducing the bag limit for
gag to 1 fish in order to extend the
season. The Framework Action will also
consider revising the current closed
season on recreational harvest of
shallow-water grouper by either
shortening or eliminating the closed
season, moving it to a different date, or
having the closed season apply only
seaward of the 20 fathom depth contour
while eliminating it shoreward of 20
fathoms.
