Welcome to the official site of Florida's
Alligator Management Program!
New!
An
Executive Order has been signed
extending the alligator harvest season for persons permitted for
Lake Harney (AMU 505), Lake Jesup (AMU 510), Seminole County (AMU
857), and Volusia County (AMU 864). Please read the
news release for additional details about how the Commission is
handling these impacted areas.
Important!
The emergency rule governing vessels on the St.
Johns River has been lifted. Boaters can now access
portions of the river that have been under emergency-rule vessel
restrictions for the safety of boaters since August.
Please Note:
Latest reports indicate that many
public boat ramps in
Seminole and
Volusia County
remain closed. Access to these boat ramps is under the control of
local authorities. Boat ramps that are open in these counties
include the City of Sanford Marina Harbor boat ramp on Lake Monroe, the
ramps at Lake Monroe Park in DeBary, and at Ed Stone Park in DeLand.
To check the status of a
public boat ramp in
Seminole County and
Volusia County,
look for news release updates on the respective county's websites.
