Rule 68B-45.0045 F.A.C., (Closed Seasons) would be created to contain all of the blue crab seasonal closure language. Six regional closed seasons to the harvest of blue crabs with traps would be created. These closures would extend for a period of up to 10 days each to help efforts to identify and retrieve lost and abandoned blue crab traps from Florida waters. In addition, the Gulf Seasonal Closure Region language located in Rule 68B-45.006, F.A.C., would be adopted into this section. Rule 68B-45.006, F.A.C., (Other Prohibitions) would be amended by removing the current Gulf Seasonal Closure Region Language.
