The FWC has indicated it will entertain the possibility of a limited harvest in Florida state waters. 

 
Given the continued scientific uncertainty regarding the recovery of goliath grouper populations, DEMA favors the continuation of the current moratorium on harvest of this species, as we have since 2011. However, we do believe it is important to capture the opinions of all diving stakeholders on this issue. 

 
We are asking you to please complete a brief opinion survey regarding the continuation of the moratorium, by 4:00pm Eastern Time, Thursday, July 13, 2017. 

 
TAKE THE SURVEY

 
This data will be helpful for assisting the FWC in constructing their goliath grouper management plans. DEMA will submit the results of the survey to FWC prior to their workshops.
