FWC Proposes Allowing Commercial Mullet Harvest on Weekends
{sidebar id=3}The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) proposed a draft rule on Thursday that would allow commercial fishers to harvest striped or black mullet on weekends. A final public hearing on this rule proposal will take place during the June 11-12 FWC meeting in Dania Beach.
The commercial harvest of mullet has been prohibited on weekends during certain months of the year since 1989 to help protect mullet when they spawn. A recent FWC stock assessment indicates mullet populations are now healthy enough statewide to sustain commercial mullet harvesting on weekends.
