What happened
NOAA Fisheries announced the 2026 federal recreational red snapper fishing season in the South Atlantic. While the season generally runs from October 9 through October 11, an extended season is offered for eligible anglers in South Carolina, which runs until October 22. NOAA is working with state partners to rebuild red snapper stock and improve recreational fishing data.

Why it matters
The extended season is part of NOAA's efforts to advance sustainable fisheries in the South Atlantic. If red snapper counts remain below the harvest limit at the end of the season, NOAA and the states will jointly decide if a second season will take place in December.
