house 01/16/2025 - 119th Congress
We are aiming to delay any area or bottom closures for the South Atlantic Snapper-Grouper Fishery until the South Atlantic Great Red Snapper Count is complete and its data is integrated into the stock assessment. This ensures fishery management decisions are informed by the most accurate and up-to-date information, supporting economic stability and sustainable fishing practices.

Holding fishery management hostage until the paperwork is done? Talk about putting the cart before the fish.
