NOAA Announces Final Rule to Adjust Gulf Red Snapper Sector Annual Catch Limits

KEY MESSAGE:
Amendment 28 to the reef fish fishery management plan shifted 2.5 percent of the red snapper quota allocation from the commercial sector to the recreational sector. A court order vacated the amendment and requires NOAA Fisheries to reinstate the sector allocations and resulting annual catch limits, annual catch targets, and quotas that were in effect prior to Amendment 28. Therefore, NOAA Fisheries is implementing a new rule that adjusts the sector annual catch limits, annual catch targets, and quotas based on the sector allocations in place before Amendment 28 for red snapper.
WHEN RULE WILL TAKE EFFECT:
The rule will be effective on June 6, 2017.
WHAT THIS MEANS:
The allocation is now 51 percent to the commercial sector and 49 percent to the recreational sector.
The combined allowable catch of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico for the commercial and recreational sectors is 13.74 million pounds whole weight. The recreational sector quota is 6,733,000 pounds whole weight. The commercial sector quota is 7,007,000 pounds whole weight.
The 2.5 percent commercial sector IFQ quota will be distributed as gutted weight, which equals 6,312,613 pounds.
The 2.5 percent of the quota that shifts to the commercial sector will be released on or about the effective date of this rule.

It should mean that they are going to add days on the season since recreational has additional quota. but, in typical bureaucratic fashion, no one can understand what it means, even though they have a highlighted section say "what this means".

So this only affects state waters, right?

They took 2.5% from the Rec and gave it back to the Comm, any hope for additional days is dead with the ruling. EDF and Buddy G and his pals filed the lawsuit and won.

Read it again. It means com sued noaa over the amendment and won, and now regains majority of the fishery. The same week as the failed rec season. They are relentless, unified, connected, and prepared to spend millions on lawyers, while JBE, CCA, LDWF and some dudes from Texas argue over whose dick is bigger.
But I hear the gofundme is going well.

That is how i read it. Im guessing NOAA is going to request that anyone who caught fish the last day of the 3 day season, turn in there fillets to the nearest seafood restaurant and they will take it from there.

Frick me running, but how can commercial fisherman OWN a larger part of a public resources than the public.

At this point our best hope is that Buddy Guindon's grandkids get tired of free money. Maybe they grow up so rich they become that inevitable generation in the family that spends the trust fund on a sociology degree, moves to Portland to become a slam poet, and loses interest in the family business.
Maybe then in 30 years they'll get tired of it and I can take my grandkids to go catch a dozen snapper.

Link to the ruling if anyone is interested, shocker who the plaintiff is.

Plaintiffs argue that Amendment 28 violates National Standard Four because it imposes a hardship on the commercial sector that is not outweighed by the total benefits received by the recreational sector. (Doc.No. 18, at 30).

Drunken tiger is 100% correct. The commercials win their lawsuits and we lose ours every fricking time

No the answer is to file the GD suit I have ask for the last ten years. To shut down all red snapper fishing as they are in violation of magneson moss by not using best available data and their snapper estimates are not supported by any expert under the daubert analysis. Thus they have no testimony to support their action and it must all be closed until they have the data. ( they have allegedly been working on a new sample study for the last decade yet the people on the committee indicate they have never even met or try to do anything)
Shut it down for a few years and let the fricking commercials starve. frick them all. restaurants will find substitutes and we will permanently frick them for a change.
