Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Division:

Marine Fisheries

Chapter:

SPANISH MACKEREL

Overview

RULE:

68B-23.006

Allowable Gear; Prohibited Gear

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this proposed rule amendment is to create a reference in existing state Spanish mackerel rule to proposed rules in 68B-2, FAC establishing a mackerel tournament permit. This permit would meet federal requirements for king and Spanish mackerel tournaments that donate tournament-caught king and Spanish mackerel to wholesale dealers, who then sell the fish and give the proceeds to a charity on the tournament’s behalf.  
	
The effect of the rule amendment is that mackerel tournament permit regulations would be referenced in relevant state mackerel regulations, and thus would be easier for the public to find.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule would create a reference in 68B-23.006, FAC (Other Prohibitions) to the proposed mackerel tournament donation permit, outlined in 68B-2.010.
