FWC looks into sharks; experts raise issue of 'shifting baselines'

Shark experts raised the issue of âshifting baselinesâ when state fishery managers held a round-table discussion recently on sharks off Florida interacting with anglers.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission invited the experts to educate them last week on the fishery and the species as the commissioners hear complaints from anglers about sharks stealing their catch or bait.
Anglers who are now complaining are only measuring their interactions from the last 30 years when shark conservation regulations were in place and the population rebounded. They do not have the perspective of watching the shark population decline for decades from overfishing for their fins, scientist and renowned artist Guy Harvey and Mote Marine Laboratory scientist Bob Hueter said. Finning was banned in Florida and the United States in 1992.

FWC considers reopening Goliath grouper fishery

The species has been closed to harvest since 1990.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission board will discuss the Goliath grouper fishery at its May 12 virtual meeting.
FWC staff will provide a review and discussion of Goliath grouper, including biology, updates on ongoing research and stakeholder opinions. They will seek commission approval on next steps for Goliath management in state waters, including whether to prepare a draft rule for limited harvest, according to the FWC agenda.
The FWC board last discussed reopening the fishery in 2018, and FWC staff proposed allocating 100 tags a year for up to four years to fishermen who want to harvest them. At that time, some fishermen claimed the large fish were eating smaller snappers after being hooked by fishermen. They claim the population has rebounded, but opponents argued it hasnât and the population never recovered from a 2010 cold snap that killed many juvenile species of fish.

FWC dives into casita debate

The spiny lobster fishery in the Florida Keys could see its first major changes in several decades as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has resurrected the debate on lobster casitas and has been asked to approve a tag system for the annual two-day mini-season in July.
The FWC board this month had its first major discussion about allowing casitas, or lobster condos, for harvesting spiny lobsters.
Casitas are small artificial structures placed at the seafloor to attract large congregations of lobster, making them easy for divers to harvest. Through the years, such things used for casitas off the Keys have included car hoods, hurricane shutters attached to cement blocks and PVC piping.
