We are pleased to announce that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted unanimously at their meeting on June 25, in Sarasota, to move forward with new regulations for barracuda. This vote moves the process forward to a final vote on the new regulations at the next Commission meeting on September 2-3, in Fort Lauderdale. Although the final vote is still needed, we are confident that the new regulations will be implemented at the September meeting. This would not have been possible without the collaboration with the Lower Keys Guide Association and Florida KeysKeeper. In addition, BTT thanks FWC staff for their hard work on this issue, to all of the guides and anglers who participated in this process, and to the FWC Commissioners for voting in favor of these much needed regulations.
