New trap tags for commercial lobster and crab traps starting Jan. 1 

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is announcing new trap tags for all
commercial lobster, stone crab and blue crab traps beginning on Jan. 1, 2024. After careful review, the
FWC selected Sierra Group LLC to make and supply trap tags. For the 2024-25 season, all commercial
trap tags will be green and printed with “FWCC,” the season year, tag type and endorsement number
(for example, FWCC 24/25 VHI-123456). Tags can be secured to traps by nail, screw or inserting the
tail through the circle opening. Those securing tags by nail or screw can remove the tail with scissors,
if preferred.   

For questions or concerns relating to shipping or direct vendor support, contact the Office of Licensing
and Permitting at 850-488-3641.  For information on current trap regulations, visit MyFWC.com/Marine
and click “Trap Diagrams.”
