Summary


The proposed final rule would modify the recreational harvest season for red snapper in all state waters of the Gulf of Mexico to be Saturdays and Sundays in May beginning the first Saturday in May; opening each day of the week from the Saturday before Memorial Day through the Sunday following July 4; with the season resuming for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout September and October including Labor Day. If October 31 falls on a Saturday, the last day of harvest will be Sunday, November 1.
