Public Hearings Scheduled for Snapper Grouper Amendment 18A

The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council will hold a series of public hearings regarding Amendment 18A to the Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan later this month. Amendment 18A primarily focuses on measures for the commercial golden tilefish and black sea bass fisheries to account for anticipated shifts to those fisheries as regulations become more restrictive for other snapper grouper species. The amendment also addresses methods to improve the accuracy, timing, and quantity of fisheries data for both commercial and for-hire fisheries.
