GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is holding a virtual public workshop to review potential regulation changes for regional management of the snook fishery and gather public input. The potential regulation changes have been updated following the release of new monitoring data, public input from previous workshops, and recent stakeholder engagement.
