Overview

RULE:

68B-38.002	Southwest Florida Seasonal Shrimp Closures
68B-38.003	Taylor County Shrimp Closure

PURPOSE:

The purpose of these repeals is to consolidate and streamline regulations related to shrimp into Chapter 68B-31, F.A.C., so they are easier for the public to find and understand.  The effect of these rule repeals and related rule amendments would repeal these rules and move seasonal and spatial restrictions on the use of shrimp trawls and consolidate these regulations into Florida’s shrimp regulations in Chapter 68B-31, F.A.C.

SUMMARY:

These rules would be repealed and the language moved so that specific shrimp regulations applicable to Taylor County and Southwest Florida from Chapter 68B-38, F.A.C., (Shrimping and Trapping: Closed Areas and Seasons) are placed into Chapter 68B-31, F.A.C., (Shrimp) so they are easier for the public to find and understand.  These repeals accompany proposed rulemaking for Chapter 68B-31, F.A.C.
