Panel Extends Red Snapper Ban Across Atlantic Waters
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council voted 9 to 4 to bar all fishing for red snapper in federal waters from North Carolina to the Florida Keys for an undetermined period. The ban also covers other snapper and grouper in a 5,000 square mile zone off Georgia and Florida as a population recovery measure. Opponents warn the move may be premature and point to Gulf restrictions tied to oil spill impacts.
