An already existing ban on commercial and recreational fishing for red snapper in federal waters from North Carolina to northeast Florida remains in effect. NOAA Fisheries is delaying implementing the ban on bottom-fishing until June to allow time to consider the results of a new scientific assessment of red snapper.
