The purpose of these rule amendments is to clarify the positions of geographic references used in Chapter 68B-35, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). Many of the Commission’s marine fisheries rules contain geographic coordinates or latitude lines that define the boundaries of where rules apply. Currently, the rules defining the Pompano Endorsement Zone references “Hurricane Pass.” However, there are two Hurricane Passes in the Gulf of Mexico, which may lead to confusion. The intended “Hurricane Pass” lies within Collier County, while the other lies further north in Pinellas County. The effect of these proposed draft rules will be an improved definition of the “Hurricane Pass” referenced as the northern border of the Pompano Endorsement Zone by clarifying that it lies within Collier County. This will lead to a more easily understood regulatory boundary for the Pompano Endorsement Zone and improved public understanding of the rules.
