Abstract

This Fishery Management Plan for the Red Drum Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP) of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) follows an (emergency) Plan that was prepared by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) under authority of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson Act). Section 304(c) of that Act authorizes the Secretary to prepare and implement a fishery management plan, with respect to any fishery needing management and conservation, if the appropriate regional fishery management council fails to develop and submit a plan to the Secretary for such fishery within a reasonable period of time. A Plan was needed for increased demand for red drum (redfish) and subsequent development of the fisheries and possible depletion of redfish stock. Redfish, is one of the most important fishery resources in the Gulf of Mexico. Juvenile, sub-adult and adult red drum inhabit estuaries and nearshore state waters while adult stocks are also found offshore in the EEZ.
