The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced the cancellation of the SEDAR 98 Assessment Webinar I for Gulf of America Red Snapper that was scheduled for April 15, 2025. The Gulf of Mexico has been renamed the Gulf of America following an executive order from President Trump. The meeting will be rescheduled at a later date, and the public can participate in the webinars once they are rescheduled by contacting the organizer in advance for access details. The cancellation was published in the Federal Register on April 9, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The government had planned a video meeting to talk about red snapper fish, but it has been canceled for now. They are going to let people know when it’s happening next, and also there was some confusion because people started calling the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
