Saturday, July 31st, 2010 Posted in Fishing News | No Comments »
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reopened state waters offshore of Escambia County to the harvest of saltwater fish, at 12:01 a.m. today, July 31. The FWC had closed this area on June 14 as a precautionary measure due to possible impacts of oil from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. “This is great news for all Floridians and particularly our coastal communities, where fishing is such an important component of their economy and way of life,” said Nick Wiley, executive director of the FWC. “Reopening these Florida waters to fishing is a positive step forward in Florida’s recovery from the BP oil spill. We can all be confident that fish caught in Florida waters are healthy and great to eat.” Read more..Atlantic Herring Days Out Public Meetings
