A set of new regulations went into effect May 25, 2009 regarding the harvest of reef fish in Federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Fishery managers at the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council ended two years of debate and deliberation by establishing the following regulations for recreational anglers:
Aggregate grouper bag limit is reduced to four fish per person per day
Red grouper bag limit is increased to two fish per person per day
Gag bag limit is decreased to two fish per person per day
Grouper season will be closed for all of February and March for all shallow-water grouper species
