FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Marine Fisheries

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: December 10, 2012, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. and December 12, 2012, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
PLACE: Webinar: http://fwc.adobeconnect.com/mfm/; Voice-only access – Contact [e-mail] or [phone].
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will be holding two webinars to gather public testimony regarding the potential creation of saltwater game fish and sport fish designations. Suggested parameters for game fish include no commercial harvest, possession or sale; fish could only be targeted with hook and line; and captain and crew of for-hire vessels such as charter boats would have a bag limit of zero. The sport fish designation, as proposed, would offer a higher level of protection than game fish by including no recreational harvest as well as no commercial harvest, possession or sale and targeting sport fish only with hook and line. PLEASE NOTE: Each webinar will cover the same topic; participants only need to attend one.
