Purpose


The purpose of this rule development notice is to provide refence to possible minimum size limits modifications for several reef fish species when harvesting from within Biscayne National Park (BNP). The Commission is considering development of a series of BNP-specific size limits for several reef fish species. The potential changes to 68B-14.0035, F.A.C. coincide with planned creation of a new rule chapter (68B-7, F.A.C.) for BNP that would establish these regulatory changes. The effect of this rule amendment would be reference new size limits established in 68B-7, F.A.C., and thus further conserve targeted fish populations within BNP.
