AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's Reef Fish 
Advisory Panel will hold a meeting on March 3, 1994, at the Radisson 
Inn New Orleans Airport, 2150 Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Kenner, 
Louisiana; telephone: (504) 467-3111. The meeting will be held from 12 
p.m to 4 p.m.
    The purpose of the meeting is to review proposed Draft Amendment 9 
to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of 
Mexico. Draft Amendment 9 includes management measures to collect 
historical landings data from fishermen, to extend the reef fish permit 
moratorium and red snapper endorsement system, and to provide partial 
red snapper endorsements in 1995 to historical captains if the red 
snapper endorsement system is extended. The historical landings data 
will be used to establish the eligibility of fishermen if a system to 
limit access to the red snapper fishery is implemented based on 
individual transferable quotas (ITQs) or license limitations. 
Individuals would be notified of their potential allocation.
