Sen. Rick Scott Asks Commerce Secretary Lutnick to Grant State-Led Management of Red Snapper |
|
| Senator Rick Scott joined Representative John Rutherford and bipartisan members of Florida’s Congressional delegation in a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thanking him for his work with President Trump to represent Americans’ best interests and ask that the administration grant Florida and other states’ authority for Red Snapper management. In their letter, the members note that state management will help improve accuracy of data collection and benefit Florida’s fishing industry and coastal economy while protecting conservation efforts. Earlier this year, Senator Scott and Representative Rutherford led the bipartisan, bicameral Red Snapper Act to stop the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from unilaterally closing the Red Snapper fishery in the South Atlantic until a full South Atlantic Great Red Snapper Count study is complete.
