The main problems are overfishing and decline of various stocks, excessive bycatch, degradation of fish habitats, and administrative and management problems. The overall goal of the FMP is to manage the reef fish fishery of the united states within the waters of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council jurisdiction to attain the greatest overall benefit to the nation with particular reference to food production and recreational opportunities on the basis of the maximum sustainable yield as modified by relevant ecological, economic, or social factors. Objectives are: 1) To rebuild the declining reef fish stocks wherever they occur within the fishery; 2) to establish a fishery reporting system for monitoring the reef fish fishery; 3) to conserve and increase reef fish habitats in appropriate areas and to provide protection for juveniles while protecting existing and new habitats; 4) to minimize conflicts between user groups of the resource and conflicts for space. Management objectives include, among other things: to stabilize long term population levels of all reef fish species by establishing a certain survival rate of biomass into the stock of spawning age to achieve at least 20 percent spawning stock biomass per recruit; re-specify the reporting requirements necessary to establish a database for monitoring the reef fish fishery and evaluating management actions; revise the definition of optimum yield to allow specification at the species level.
