The purpose of this rule development is to repeal two Special Acts of Local Application for Collier County. The first prohibits using artificial lights while spearing or gigging, and the second prohibits spearfishing in all state waters off the county. With the repeal of these Special Acts, spearfishing in state waters off Collier County would be regulated in accordance with statewide spearfishing rules, making spearfishing allowable in Collier County, except as prohibited by 68B-20, Florida Administrative Code. The use of lights would also be regulated pursuant to statewide gear rules.
