Summary


The rule amendment would replace the Gulf Reef Fish Survey with the State Reef Fish Survey and create an annual requirement for recreational fishers to report if they intend to harvest, attempt to harvest, or possess certain reef fish while aboard a private vessel in or on Florida waters. The rule amendment would add mutton snapper, yellowtail snapper, and hogfish to list of reef fish included in this reporting requirement. The rule amendment would also remove outdated rule language regarding an expired for-hire data collection program.
