The purpose of this rule development notice is to address possible creation of a rule referencing spatial harvest closures for lobster species within Biscayne National Park (BNP). The Commission is considering development of a series of Coral Reef Protection Areas within BNP, where trap use and lobster harvest would be prohibited in order to prevent damage to selected coral stands. The effect of the new rule chapter would be to reference new spatial closures to the harvest of lobster established in 68B-7, F.A.C., that would further conserve select coral stands within BNP.
