Two day sport lobster season
Becky Herrin and Sheriff Ramsay send regards. (Edited for Space Constraints)
The Sheriff's Office would like to remind everyone the two day sport lobster season is coming up next week. Anyone who plans to participate catching lobster in Monroe County during the two day season on July 26th and 27th should make sure to familiarize themselves with both state law and with local ordinances in the Florida Keys. Details and information can be found in the attached pamphlet or at
http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/lobster/
During the two day sport season, the Sheriff's Office will have extra patrols at boat ramps, bridges and on the water. Anyone caught with illegal lobster will be charged accordingly. All Sheriff's Office boats will be on patrol, and deputies will also be operating a number of Wave Runners donated to the Sheriff's Office by Riva South Motorsports. Riva South donates the Wave Runners each year to be used for law enforcement purposes such as this, as well as for regular patrols of hard to reach shoreline areas and residential canals.
Remember: You must have a recreational saltwater fishing license and a spiny lobster permit to recreationally harvest spiny lobsters unless you are exempt from recreational license requirements. Information about these licenses and permits is available online at MyFWC.com/License. Attached is a detailed brochure with information about the various rules that apply in different areas of the Keys. Make sure to review the rules for the area in which you will be harvesting lobster. Rules and laws vary depending on where you are in the Florida Keys.
"We enjoy all the visitors here in the Keys during the two day sport season," said Sheriff Ramsay. "But we want to make sure everyone is aware of the law, and is behaving in a responsible, and safe, manner."
