This document principally includes alternatives for creating a license
limitation system for the commercial red snapper fishery; alternatives for
defining harvest allowances of reef fish from traps, other than permitted fish
traps, stone crab traps and lobster traps; size limits for vermilion snapper,

seasonal closure; and 20-fish aggregate bag limit modifications.

amendments to FMP s to comply with National Standard 1 of the SFA, following
NMFS National Standard Guidelines. Most items in the checklist make
reference to specific sections in the document Technical Guidance on the Use

Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (1998). Generic Amendment for
Addressing Essential Fish Habitat Requirements in the Following Fishery
Management Plans of the Gulf of Mexico: Shrimp, Red Drum, Reef Fish,
Coastal Migratory Pelagic Resources, Stone Crab, Spiny Lobster, and
Coral and Coral Reefs. The Commons at Rivergate, 3018 U.S. Highway 301
North, Suite 1000, Tampa, Florida, October, 238 pp.
Essential fish habitat (EFH) is identified and described based on areas
where various life stages of 26 representative managed species and coral
complex commonly occur. They were selected because sufficient information
existed to document and map their habitat associations and use. Threats to
EFH from fishing and non-fishing activities are identified. Options to
conserve and enhance EFH are provided. Research needs also are identified.

Bycatch reduction device evaluation analysis presents the results for new
devices and the observer program that went into effect to determine if
sufficient red snapper had been saved in the shrimp fishery to justify the
release of additional quota to commercial and recreational fishermen.
