Fins & Waters for April 2007
Gulf Red Snapper and Shrimp Laws Changing Again — Gulf Red Snapper and Shrimp Laws Changing Again — Red snapper regulations in the Gulf are
changing so fast that fishermen are having trouble staying current. New commercial rules started
April 2, and new recreational laws will go into effect on May 2. Then, in about a year, they will
probably all change again. Fishermen ask: How did this mess happen?
