Abstract
NMFS closes the commercial fishery for red snapper in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico. NMFS has determined that the fall portion of the annual commercial quota for red snapper will be reached at noon, local time, November 10, 2001. This closure is necessary to protect the red snapper resource.
