Red Snapper Decision Support Tool

The Gulf Council is considering an amendment that could establish a regional approach for managing recreationally harvested red snapper to improve access and allow regional flexibility of management. The Council recognizes that this is a complex issue and requires consideration of the outcomes for both anglers on for-hire vessels and anglers on private vessels. This interactive app describes the alternatives under consideration and allows expected outcomes for each alternative for both components of the recreational fishery.
