Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule changes are to: clarify prohibition of gun or firearm possession on 38 Fish Management Areas, standardize cast net use in all Fish Orlando! Fish Management Areas and remove lakes Lorna Doone, Richmond, Dot and Kirkman Pond from the Fish Orlando! Fish Management Program; to use Executive Order to change dates the Joe Budd Fish Management Area is open to fishing; to increase ability to add designated entry points, change name and fishing access requirements of two lakes, eliminate the check-in requirements for alligator hunters, redefine location of possession and discharge of firearms, and redefine dog possession on Teneroc Fish Management Area. The effect would be to enable the agency to better manage fisheries resources.
