FLORIDA — At its March meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved changes to shrimp regulations.

The following changes will go into effect May 1:

  • Allow recreational shrimp harvest in the Big Bend closed area with a limit of 2 gallons per person and 5 gallons per vessel using cast nets and dip nets only.
  • Allow high-salinity freezer tanks for commercial food shrimp production.
  • Make several technical clarifications and updates to rule language.

These changes are the final phase of a long-term effort to update shrimp regulations.
