The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council has scheduled a series of Recreational Angler Participation sessions – or RAP sessions – to hear about the issues Gulf of Mexico recreational anglers have regarding current federal fisheries management, and to explore potential solutions to those issues.
According to the Gulf Council, anyone with concerns about recreational fisheries regulations who would like to play a role in shaping the future of recreational fisheries management should attend.
The Gulf Council is one of eight regional Fishery Management Councils established by the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976. The Council prepares fishery management plans, which are designed to manage fishery resources within the 200-mile limit of the Gulf of Mexico.
The meetings will take place throughout the Gulf coast in January, 2014. A webinar is scheduled for those who may be unable to attend the sessions in person.
