The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is holding a phone conference to gather public comments on possible rule changes that would extend FWC octocoral regulations into federal waters. Creation of an octocoral harvest quota that would include landings from state and federal waters is also being considered. Continuation of octocoral harvest prohibitions in Atlantic federal waters north of Cape Canaveral (28°35.1'N latitude), and from Stetson-Miami Terrace Deepwater Coral Habitat Area of Particular Concern (HAPC) and Pourtales Terrace Deepwater Coral HAPC will also be discussed.
