Notice of Development of Rulemaking

Department:

FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Division:

Marine Fisheries

Chapter:

KING MACKEREL - ATLANTIC FISHERY

Overview

RULE:

68B-30.003

Commercial Harvest Limits; Recreational Bag Limit; Gear Specifications

PURPOSE:

The Commission will consider a federal consistency action to modify state multi-day for-hire rules to be consistent with current and pending federal rules. Federal regulations also allow passengers on multi-day for-hire trips in federal waters to possess and land over the daily bag limit under limited circumstances. This proposed rule would update FWC regulations regarding these trips for king mackerel to be consistent with existing rules for the Atlantic and rules for the Gulf of Mexico that are pending approval by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Consistent regulations to federal rules will help reduce regulatory confusion and ease enforcement compliance.

SUBJECT:

Subject areas to be addressed in the rule development notice include references to bag limits and requirements for those fishing for king mackerel on multi-day for-hire trips in state waters.
