Lane snapper closing Dec. 13-31 in Gulf state and federal waters

Lane snapper will close Dec. 13-31 in Gulf of Mexico state waters. This closure is consistent with a similar closure in Gulf federal waters and is being done at the request of federal fishery managers. The closure is a result of information indicating the federal quota has been exceeded.
