FWC seeks public input on snook regional management at Aug. 2 virtual workshop

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is proposing new management regions
for snook along with regional regulations based on the fishery status in each region. The FWC is adopting
a holistic management approach for snook that includes a review of several environmental and human
factors including habitat, fishing effort and stakeholder feedback to evaluate the fishery at a more local scale.
The Commission is seeking public input prior to their decision on a final rule.

The virtual workshop will start at 6 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Aug 2. Connect to the meeting by going to
MyFWC.com/Marine and clicking “Rulemaking: Submit a Comment/Attend a Workshop” and then
“Upcoming Public Workshops.”

If you are unable to attend the virtual meeting, you can still submit comments online by visiting the
Saltwater Public Comments page. A recording of the presentation will be available by Wednesday, Aug. 9,
on the FWC Saltwater Fishing YouTube channel.
