Abstract
NMFS implements an accountability measure (AM) for the commercial harvest of snowy grouper in South Atlantic Federal waters. NMFS projects commercial landings of snowy grouper will reach the commercial quota for the January through June season. Therefore, NMFS closes Federal waters in the South Atlantic for the commercial harvest of snowy grouper until the July through December season begins. This closure is necessary to protect the snowy grouper resource.
