Fishery scientists and fishermen first observed localized depletion of red snapper off Florida in the late 19th century. Early catches were dominated by large fish, often averaging 10 pounds or more; but, as depletion occurred, the availability of fish near shore declined and vessels extended their trips farther from port to catch fish. Beginning in the late 1800s, vessels began harvesting red snapper from Campeche Bank off Mexico and by the early 1900s U.S. commercial landings exceeded 7 million pounds, although few were from the Western Gulf. It was not until the 1930s and 1940s that fishing activity increased in the Western Gulf as rock ridges and snapper banks were discovered.


During this period, the shrimp fishery also rapidly expanded. Markets increased for pink and brown shrimp as new fishing grounds were discovered and vessels began using double-rig trawls, which greatly increased the amount of shrimp that could be caught per unit of effort. The number of days spent shrimping more than doubled between the 1960s and 1990s. Because juvenile red snapper (age 0-1) are accidentally captured in shrimp trawls, the shrimp trawl fishery became a significant source of red snapper mortality.



Prior to World War II, recreational fishing in the Gulf was fairly limited. But after the war, increased tourism along the Gulf coast coupled with the mass production of fiberglass boats and improvements in motor technology and navigational equipment led to increases in recreational fishing. This increased demand for recreational fishing opportunities spawned a large party boat fishery that primarily targeted red snapper.


NOAA Fisheries conducted assessments of Gulf red snapper almost every year from the late 1980s to 1999. At that time, it was determined more time was needed in between assessments. The first assessment was conducted in 1988 and concluded red snapper was overfished and undergoing overfishing. Additional assessments conducted in the 1990s and in the 2000s all reached the same conclusions - too many fish were being killed by directed fisheries and shrimp trawlers. An assessment that was completed in 2013 determined the spawning stock biomass had increased and therefore the stock was no longer undergoing overfishing, but was still overfished. This determination remained constant until the implementation of Amendment 44.


The implementation of Amendment 44 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico in December 2017 redefined the definitions of the minimum stock size threshold for reef fish. This reclassified the status of Gulf red snapper stock from "overfished" to "rebuilding". The most recent assessment, completed in May 2018, determined the stock is not overfished and there is no overfishing occurring. However, the stock remains under a rebuilding plan.


In the late 1980s, NOAA Fisheries and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Gulf Council) began implementing various regulations to reduce fishing mortality and rebuild the red snapper population.


In addition to limiting the total number of fish that could be harvested annually, commercial and recreational fishermen were restricted by limiting the number of licenses issued (in the commercial and for-hire fleets only), limiting the number of fish they could retain on a given fishing trip, restricting the size of fish they could retain and the type of gear they could use, and limiting when they could fish.





Shrimp fishermen were required to install devices in their trawl nets to reduce bycatch of juvenile red snapper. These measures led to small,
