FWC seeking public input on snook management at August 2 online workshop
FWC sketch of snook.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is proposing new management regions for snook, along with regional regulations based on the fishery status in each region. The FWC is adopting a holistic management approach for snook that includes a review of several environmental and human factors: habitat, fishing effort, and stakeholder feedback, to evaluate the fishery on a local scale.
ACCESS THE MEETING:
Prior to their decision on a final rule, the FWC will seek the input of the public at a virtual workshop will start at 6:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, August 2, 2023. You will be able to connect to the meeting at this link: myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/rulemaking/workshops - then click on "Snook" (see the dark teal colored banner) where a link to the workshop will be posted on the day of the meeting.
