The proposed final rule would require charter, headboat, and saltwater fishing guide operations that target or harvest certain reef fish in Gulf of Mexico state waters (excluding Monroe County) to report their intention to harvest or attempt to harvest the following species: red snapper, vermilion snapper, gag grouper, red grouper, black grouper, gray triggerfish, greater amberjack, lesser amberjack, banded rudderfish, or almaco jack. This proposed final rule would apply for the years 2018 and 2019 only, and would exclude vessels fishing under a valid federal Gulf of Mexico Charter/Headboat Permit for Reef Fish.
