What this bill does

  • This bill prevents NOAA from restricting fishing in the South Atlantic until a red snapper study is completed and reviewed.
  • Commercial and recreational fishermen in the South Atlantic who fish for red snapper, grouper, and porgy are affected.
  • The restrictions remain paused until the Great Red Snapper Count study is integrated into the next stock assessment.
