Every Fish Counts: Red Snapper |
Red Snapper, Chronically Depleted, Gets New Plan
Prompted into action by our federal lawsuit, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Managment Counil has finished a rule that will put Gulf red snapper on a rebuilding track. To learn more about the problem, visit our press release
on the issue. For a little more of our
perspective on the issue, read our recent blog posting on the victory.
The GRN advocates sustainable fisheries management through catch
levels based on sound science, the protection of habitats essential to
healthy marine fish populations, and the assessment and minimization of
incidental killing of marine life in the process of catching a target
species (bycatch). The GRN accomplishes these tasks through direct
advocacy and education to create the conservation voice necessary for
proper management of this public resource.
