The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the recent changes made by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission that will need to be implemented in Florida, which include reducing the weakfish recreational bag limit from 4-fish to 1-fish and reducing commercial weakfish take to 100 pounds per trip. In addition, based on genetic analyses, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is considering modifying Florida’s weakfish management area to include only Nassau and Duval counties (with the Southernmost point on the St. Johns being the Buckman bridge). Inside this area all weakfish-like fish would be considered weakfish and outside this area all weakfish-like fish would be considered sand seatrout, which are unregulated.
