Perusing the Federal Register — an old habit from my wire service days — I see that a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, will hold a four-day meeting to consider actions affecting the Gulf of Mexico fisheries in the exclusive economic zone in early April.

The Gulf of what now?

Interestingly, on the NOAA web site, it says, “we work with the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council  (Gulf Council) to manage fisheries in the Gulf of America (formerly Gulf of Mexico).” The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management web site currently says, “we are actively working to rebrand and redesign our website. We appreciate your patience during the transition.”
