Blue crab workshops scheduled August 8, 2008 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has scheduled a series of public workshops to receive comments regarding a possible closed harvest season for blue crabs. The FWC is looking at ways to create a closed blue crab harvest season so lost and abandoned traps can be collected and removed from Florida’s coastal waters. The primary option under consideration would establish three regional blue crab harvest closures across the state for a period of up to 10 days. The FWC encourages interested persons to participate in the workshops, which will take place from 6-8 p.m. as follows:
Anyone requiring special accommodations to participate in the workshops should advise the FWC at least five days prior to the workshop by calling 850-488-6411. If you are hearing- or speech-impaired, contact the FWC using the Florida Relay Service at 1-800-955-8771 (TDD) or 1-800-955-8770 (voice).
