Eastern Gulf Bycatch Reduction Incentive Program
In order to reduce the discarding of red snapper bycatch in the Gulf of Mexico, a temporary subsidy has been proposed for grouper fishermen operating east of Cape San Blas, Florida. The subsidy of $1 per pound of red snapper allocation will be available approximately January through June 2011 to encourage the landing of red snapper and reduce the number of discarded fish. For further details, and to apply, follow this link.
