Join us for our upcoming (September 24th) Tech X-change - Take it or leave it: modeling harvest and discards in a recreational fishery with an application toward gag grouper. This informative session will delve into the water. You will learn about how technology is providing insights about the gag grouper. From NOAA - about the gag grouper - U.S. wild-caught gag grouper is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations. The Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic stocks are overfished. The fishing rate established under a rebuilding plan for the South Atlantic stock promotes population growth. A rebuilding plan is being developed for the Gulf of Mexico stock. *Please bring a valid form of photo ID. We look forward to seeing you there!
