The purpose of this rulemaking is to consolidate, clarify, streamline, and standardize Florida’s shrimp regulations in chapter 68B-31, F.A.C., to make these regulations easier for the public to read, understand, and enforce as part of a long-term marine fisheries rule cleanup project. This rulemaking would make clarifying or non-substantive rule updates to implement the standardized rule formatting consistent with the rule clean-up process, as well as revise outdated language and taxonomic classifications. This rulemaking would also make substantive changes to convey the original intent of certain regulations or to better align with current fishery practices and therefore reduce confusion and improve the enforceability of shrimp regulations.
