The Angler Action Foundation is allowing anglers to quickly and easily report their catch, a goal for both federal and state fishery managers.
MyFishCount, an electronic reporting pilot project for recreational anglers, is taking another step in its development by transitioning operations to the Angler Action Foundation this month. The pilot project allows recreational anglers in the South Atlantic region and Florida the opportunity to submit information about their fishing trips and catches electronically. The pilot project consists of a website and a free smartphone app co-created by the Angler Action Foundation and the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council through a grant from NOAA Fisheries.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission board on Wednesday approved a draft rule for a two-month seasonal closure at Western Dry Rocks off Key West, despite nearly every public speaker at the meeting asking for a four-month closure.
The FWC will hold public workshops on draft rule for Western Dry Rocks in January and then vote on a final rule when the FWC board meets in February. Exact dates for the workshops had yet to be set as of Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the FWC board called on FWC board Chair and Key West developer Robert Spottswood to direct the conversation and vote on the seasonal closure, which the FWC board agreed at this time to be May and June.
