Statewide in-person redfish workshops, June 1-16, and online; give your input on proposed rules
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is holding a series of public workshops to gather public input on proposed rules for redfish, that include nine new management regions and modified recreational bag, vessel, and off-the-water transport limits. The FWC developed these proposed changes, using a new management approach, to better capture regional differences in the fishery. The public is encouraged to attend one of FWC’s in-person workshops that are being held throughout the state.
If you are unable to attend one of the workshop listed below, you are welcome to visit
