The proposed rule changes: 1) establish a transit provision to allow transport of legally-harvested king mackerel through closed areas and permits the landing of these fish in closed areas, 2) clarify that state waters for the king mackerel Atlantic fishery are closed to commercial harvest of king mackerel when adjacent federal waters are closed, and 3) remove references to commercial king mackerel fishing season dates for the Atlantic fishery in FWC rule. Additionally, the proposed rule would create a reference in 68B-30.006, FAC (Other Prohibitions) to the proposed mackerel tournament donation permit, outlined in 68B-2.010.
