"The approved actions in regulatory Amendment 9 will: I) Reduce the bag limit for black sea bass from 15 fish per person to 5 fish per person; 2) establish a trip limit of 1,000 pounds gutted weight (gw) for gag; 3) establish a trip limit of 1,500 pounds gw for vermilion snapper; and 4) increase the trip limit for greater amberjack from 1,000 pounds gw to 1,200 pounds gw. The intended effect of Regulatory Amendment 9 is to prevent the progressive shortening of fishing seasons for black sea bass, gag, and vermilion snapper, and to maximize the probability of achieving optimum yield for greater amberjack. No significant effects on the quality of the human environment are anticipated from this action"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of three related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
