The Red Snapper Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program
The Gulf of Mexico Commercial Red Snapper Fishery Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program is a type of limited access privilege program (LAPP), which provide individual fishermen or corporations the exclusive privilege to harvest a certain percentage of the total allowable catch (TAC) of a fishery.
By ensuring each program participant the opportunity to harvest a specific amount of the total red snapper annual catch, IFQ programs eliminate the need to compete for the TAC under derby-style fishing conditions.
