Sightings and reports of more Goliath grouper have been increasing for years. Recent fishing reports from the Keys include accounts of releasing more than a dozen Goliath grouper on one trip. However, many biologists worry that allowing even a limited harvest of the slow- growing, territorial fish that can grow to more than 700 pounds could quickly reverse decades of gains. “We really don’t know if the [Goliath grouper] stock is rebuilt,” Roy Crabtree of the National Marine Fisheries Service said at a Keys meet- ing last summer. “It’s proba- bly close but we don’t know....

We have the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council creating and enforcing federal rules from Key West to the Texas-Mexico border.

Or one can catch an allowable fish in federal waters, then be in violation of state law on the ride back to the dock. The issue really came to a head several years ago when the South Atlantic Council put into place in its jurisdiction a four-month moratorium on catching grouper. That closure runs from Jan. 1 through April. The protests were loud down here because the aim was protecting gag grouper. But grouper species here consist mainly of red grouper and black grouper, not the gag the feds say needed immediate protection.
