Amendment 44 to the Snapper Grouper
FMP
The Council must adjust catch levels
for yellowtail snapper in response to the
most recent stock assessment for the
species in the region (SEDAR 64 2019).
Yellowtail snapper is considered a
single stock distributed in the South
Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf).
The stock assessment results indicated
the stock is not overfished nor
undergoing overfishing. However, catch
levels must be adjusted based on the
acceptable biological catch
recommended by the South Atlantic and
Gulf of Mexico Councils’ Scientific and
Statistical Committees (SSC). The
acceptable biological catch must first be
allocated between the two regions. In
addition, the Council is considering
modifications to catch levels, sector
allocations and possibly establishing
commercial management measures.
During the scoping meetings, Council
staff will present an overview of the
amendment and will be available for
informal discussions and to answer
questions via webinar. Members of the
public will have an opportunity to go on
record to provide their comments for
consideration by the Council.
Special Accommodations
These meetings are physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for auxiliary aids should be
directed to the Council office (see
