This is comment on Proposed Rule

Fisheries of Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic: Snapper-Grouper Fishery off Southern Atlantic States; Management Measures

I am in support of the lifting of the 240' closure in the Florida Keys. These draconian regulations should never been put in place. There is no shortage of Snowy grouper or Blueline tilefish in the lower keys. Shutting down an entire fishery, with no science, to try to protect a fish that no one fishes for here is MORONIC.
