Gulf Council Approves IFQ Program for GOM Reef Fishery


The full Gulf Council voted in favor of the IFQ Program for the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fishery on Thursday, Jan 29, 2009,  The next step is for the rule to be approved by the Commerce Department (which is pretty much considered a slam dunk).  It likely won’t be implemented before 2010.  If you qualify for this fishery and haven’t already done so, you should get your landings figures from NMFS and check them closely against your records.
