The Commission will consider requiring private recreational fishers to sign up for the State Reef Fish Survey (SRFS) to harvest or possess mutton snapper, red snapper, vermilion snapper, yellowtail snapper, black grouper, gag grouper, red grouper, gray triggerfish, greater amberjack, lesser amberjack, almaco jack, banded rudderfish, or hogfish when aboard a vessel in or on Florida Waters. The SRFS will replace the Gulf Reef Fish Survey (GRFS), which expires June 30, 2020. One effect of the potential rule amendments would be improved recreational reef fish data collection through identification of the population of offshore reef fish recreational fishers in Florida. This would continue and expand the benefits realized by the GRFS beyond the survey’s expiration date, as well as throughout the state, by providing better recreational harvest data and fisheries management opportunities for Florida’s reef fish species, including red snapper. Additionally, outdated rule language would be removed from this rule.
