Overall Goal of Alligator Management: Manage Florida's alligator population for its long-term well-being and the benefits of users.

Nuisance Alligator Hotline: 866-FWC-GATOR

People with concerns about an alligator should call FWC’s toll-free Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-392-4286. When someone concerned about an alligator calls the Nuisance Alligator Hotline, FWC will dispatch a contracted nuisance alligator trapper to resolve the situation.

Applicants must have a clean criminal history, no fish or wildlife law violations and a valid working email address. Applications must be received by Thursday, Dec. 13, 2018.
