The purpose of this rulemaking is to consolidate, reorganize, clarify, streamline, and standardize Florida’s shrimp regulations into chapter 68B-31, F.A.C., to make these regulations easier to read, understand, and enforce. This rulemaking is part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s ongoing, long-term Marine Fisheries Rule Cleanup project. The effect of this rulemaking would be to make clarifying or non-substantive rule updates to implement the standardized rule formatting consistent with the Marine Fisheries Rule Clean-up process, as well as revise outdated language to better align with current fishery practices, application of shrimp regulations, and taxonomic classifications.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 would reduce confusion and improve the enforceability of shrimp regulations.
