If issued by NOAA Fisheries, each EFP would exempt the applicable state agency and participating fishermen from specific Federal regulations applicable to the recreational harvest of red snapper in the South Atlantic. The purpose of these EFPs is to improve data on recreational fishing effort, catch, and discards of red snapper in the South Atlantic to inform the development of a long-term red snapper. The applicants intend each of these projects to test state-led data collection systems beginning in 2026 designed to improve the accuracy and availability of recreational effort and catch data. Additional purposes of the EFPs are to provide recreational fishermen on privately owned vessels (private vessels, private anglers), and the owners or operators of charter vessels or headboats (for-hire fishermen) increased fishing opportunities for red snapper, and collect related biological, social, and economic information from the fishery. Under the state proposals, recreational harvest of red snapper would be allowed during specified red snapper seasons in South Atlantic state and Federal waters off Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. In 2026, FWC proposes to allow the recreational harvest of red snapper in state and federal waters during a 39-day season divided into summer and fall segments.

The Amendment considers changes on two different but related topics. First, the Amendment considers ways to collect data inside areas that are currently closed to commercial pelagic longline or bottom longline fishing. These closed areas have been in place since the early 2000s, and the prohibition on fishing during all or part of the year has led to a commensurate decrease in fishery-dependent data. These data are needed to fully assess the effectiveness of the existing closed areas in meeting conservation and management goals, including preventing overfishing, reducing bycatch, protecting species listed under the Endangered Species Act and protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and maximizing U.S. fishermen’s access to fishery resources. In the Amendment, NMFS considers ways to modify the spatial and temporal aspects of four closed areas (Mid-Atlantic shark bottom longline, Charleston Bump pelagic longline, East Florida Coast pelagic longline, and DeSoto Canyon pelagic longline closed areas) to allow data collection in certain areas and times where and when risk of bycatch interactions are minimized. Second, Amendment 15 would also include cost allocation alternatives for the HMS Electronic Monitoring (EM) Program for the pelagic longline fishery. NMFS historically has paid all the costs of this EM program. In light of NMFS Policy 04-115-02 (Cost Allocation in EM Programs for Federally Managed U.S. Fisheries), Amendment 15 would consider alternatives to transition “sampling costs” (as defined in Policy 04-115-02) to industry, while the agency remains responsible for administrative costs. | {"displayProperties": [], "keywords": null, "modifyDate": "2026-03-04T14:58:57Z", "dkAbstract": "NMFS is developing a proposed rule and draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Amendment 15 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) pursuant to the rulemaking authority under the Magnuson-Stevens Conservation and Management Act (MSA) Section 304(g).
