FLORIDA — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants your input on a final rule proposal that, if approved at the March 2022 Commission meeting, would allow a regulated harvest and killing of goliath grouper in Florida state waters.
The proposal includes a harvest lottery draw while enacting area and seasonal closures, size and gear restrictions, and post-harvest requirements.
Share your input by attending one of these online workshops.
