At its Nov. 30–Dec. 1, 2022 Commission Meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved a rule to set the Florida state waters recreational bag limit for the Atlantic shortfin mako shark at zero.

This rule will make Florida’s state regulations consistent with federal regulations, address overfishing of shortfin mako, and support coordinated U.S. and international efforts to manage Atlantic shortfin mako. Commercial harvest of shortfin mako is already prohibited in state and federal waters.
