Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Capt. Dave Dipre has long been the face of the FWC in the Florida Keys. Dipre is leaving the Keys next month, as he will be promoted to the rank of major and oversee the FWCâs North Central Division, where he will be responsible for 17 counties. âItâs a mix blessing,â Dipre said. âI welcome a new challenge, but I will miss the Keys. Itâs my home.â Dipre has been the FWCâs go-to guy in the Keys since joining the agency in 1995. In the past three decades, Dipre has educated the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council, Monroe County and local Keys cities government on a variety of issues that include the status of of boaters pumping out of sewage, derelict vessels and fishery management issues and investigations.
