Currently, American Red Snapper are being managed by the Federal Government, which has repeatedly ignored the pleas of recreational fishermen and studies showing the abundance of red snapper in the northern Gulf of Mexico. We (Recreational Anglers) need to unite and show our support of state management for the fisheries within our waters. Sign this petition and we will show the state government that we want our fisheries to be extended from 3 miles to 9 nautical miles and for the state to mange the fisheries within those boundaries.
