Red Snapper - Workshops

Action: Five workshops scheduled for March

Information: The public is invited to attend any of five public workshops on the recreational red snapper season in Gulf of Mexico state waters. At these workshops, FWC will gather stakeholder input on a proposed season that would start the Saturday before Memorial Day and run through Sunday, July 12, resume for all of Labor Day weekend and finish with Saturdays and Sundays throughout  September and October, with the last day of harvest being Sunday, Nov. 1. This proposed season would result in a 70-day season for 2015. This season was the preferred option discussed by Commissioners during the February meeting in Jacksonville. Staff will present results from these workshops to the Commission at its April meeting in Tallahassee, where the Commission is expected to make a final decision about what the recreational season will be in Gulf state waters.
