Single snapper per day limit? - al.com: "While regulators say that the Gulf's red snapper population appears to be robust and growing, the 2010 snapper limits will likely be the strictest ever — perhaps one fish per day or a 30-day season.

Charter captains say such restrictions will sink their industry, and recreational anglers say there won't be any reason to leave the dock.

What's more, officials say the ever-tighter limits of the last three years are based on controversial catch estimates derived from 'fatally flawed' phone surveys, inspections at boat ramps and reports from charter boat captains."
