Anglers throughout the Gulf of Mexico share a common interest in the aggressive and delicious red snapper; but when the season opens June 1, not all Gulf States will share the same time frame in which to keep these crimson beauties.
Essentially, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) manages red snapper in federal waters, while states have sovereignty inside their marine boundaries. Some states have chosen to mirror the federal red snapper season, which concludes at midnight July 4, while others have taken other routes.

The business world measures Return on Investment (ROI) by its impact on the bottom line. According to a new report titled "More Habitat Means More Fish," investment in the great outdoors is about much more than dollars and cents – notwithstanding the undeniably strong economic benefits.
Released May 7, the report compiled by Restore America's Estuaries (RAE) and the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) and co-authored with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states that investing in U.S. coastlines and estuaries leads to healthy habitat and strong fisheries.
