Carcass collection programs have been developed by North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia to collect additional information that length along cannot provide. The leftover carcass of red snapper can provide important information needed in management including age and sexual maturity of red snapper caught by recreational fishermen during mini-seasons. Fish with the head, tail, and stomach intact are ideal. Please consider dropping off your red snapper carcass so that it can be used in science and management. Locations for the carcass collection sites can be found at the SAFMC’s website.
