    Reading Time:about 49 minutes

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has proposed regulations to implement Amendment 59 to the Fishery Management Plan for the South Atlantic Snapper-Grouper Fishery. This proposed rule aims to revise fishery management for South Atlantic red snapper by changing the fishing season dates, catch limits, and fishing practices to prevent overfishing and reduce dead discards. The rule suggests increasing total allowable catch, which includes a larger number of fish but with the goal of ensuring the red snapper population continues to rebuild. Additionally, the rule includes the establishment of a snapper-grouper discard reduction season and new provisions for conducting annual experimental studies to further boost fishing opportunities while safeguarding the fishery.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of making rules for fishing want to change the rules about when and how many red snappers (a type of fish) people can catch, so that the fish don't run out. They also want to make sure fewer fish die after being caught accidentally and to do new experiments to learn more about fishing better.
