The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (Commission) is considering a proposed rule amendment that would replace the reporting requirements of the Gulf Reef Fish Survey (GRFS), which expires June 30, 2020, with those of a State Reef Fish Survey (SRFS). This change would require recreational harvesters to annually report if they intend to fish for or possess certain reef fish species while aboard a private vessel in or on Florida waters. The reef fish included in the SRFS reporting requirement would be the same as those for GRFS (red snapper, vermilion snapper, black grouper, gag grouper, red grouper, greater amberjack, lesser amberjack, almaco jack, banded rudderfish, and gray triggerfish) plus mutton snapper, yellowtail snapper, and hogfish. Additionally, the proposed rule amendment would remove an outdated reference to the 2018 and 2019 Gulf Reef Fish State For-hire Pilot Program, which has ended. The effects of the rule amendment would be enhanced data collection for recreationally-caught reef fish throughout Florida. SRFS would be used to collect more accurate, precise, and timely catch and effort estimates to inform management of key recreational reef fish fisheries statewide.
