Earlier this month and after fourteen years of planning, Biscayne National Park published their final general management plan. The working alternative has been named “Alternative 8” and is a combination of previous alternatives 4 and 6, pulling together spatial management concepts from both. In general, the plan has little impact on the flats fishery. In most cases, proposed zones for flats fishing areas are accessible by regular travel or slow speed and remain fishable. Other areas, such as the Featherbeds, will now be non-combustion engine use zones, but will remain accessible by push pole and trolling motor. The plan will be progressively implemented over the next few years.
