Public Hearing: Amendment 36 to the Snapper Grouper FMP

    This amendment includes an approach to identify and protect 
important spawning habitat for snapper grouper species through the 
designation of Spawning Special Management Zones (SMZs). The amendment 
would modify the current procedure for establishing SMZs to include 
protection of natural bottom important for spawning, allowing for the 
designation of

[[Page 18357]]

``Spawning SMZs''. The amendment would also modify the framework 
procedure to allow modifications of and/or additional Spawning SMZs 
through the Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan for the South 
Atlantic. The amendment includes sample sites for Spawning SMZ sites 
and allows for the boundary of the existing Charleston Deep Artificial 
Reef MPA off the coast of South Carolina to be moved to accommodate 
recently deployed artificial reef material. Fishing for or possession 
of snapper grouper species would be prohibited within the Spawning 
SMZs, but fishermen would be allowed to troll for pelagic species 
(e.g., mackerels, billfish, tunas, etc.). The amendment also includes 
alternatives for transit and anchoring provisions.
    Written comments may be directed to Bob Mahood, Executive Director, 
SAFMC (see ADDRESSES) or via email to: [email protected]. Note 
that email comments should specify ``Snapper Grouper Amendment 36'' in
