UPDATE SCALLOPERS
FWC will be proposing to start the 2020 Scallop Season two weeks later that the current rule. If you are interested in helping our coastal communities, please consider sending the letter below to section leader, Melissa Recks. You can do this directly by clicking:

Or please consider writing your own letter of support.

Here is the text for the letter so you can cut and paste if you desire:
Dear Melissa Recks,
I am writing to support the position to keep Scallop Season for Taylor and Dixie Counties open as it was in recent years, opening on the second Saturday of June and closing September 10th. I request this not only for 2020 but also to be set as a recommendation for all years going forward. No evidence of a scallop population depletion has been shown in the yearly counts, noting the last July 1st opening in Taylor County was in 2012.

Scalloping is a fun family activity. People of all ages, whether 4 or 70 years of age, can enjoy the day with family on the water while collecting scallops. Opening the season earlier in the summer when kids are still on break will allow more families to share in the scalloping fun.

It has been mentioned that the staggered dates of the previous season were confusing and the survey respondents felt that scallop season should be the same for everyone. FWC staff, based on this information, have proposed to the Commission that 2020 dates be July 1 - September 26th. The coastal communities of Taylor and Dixie Counties main economic income is driven directly by scallops. These counties have been unfairly grouped with other counties that have more diversified coastal economies, like snook fisheries, recreational springs, manatee observation tours, sandy beaches, golf courses, etc. Also note, both Pasco and Gulf Counties will not be adhering to these dates. Special dates are needed for Taylor and Dixie Counties as well.

Thus, I am asking you to support the opening an earlier Scallop Season for Dixie and Taylor Counties, opening the second Saturday of June and closing September 10th to help the communities that may be greatly affected economically. I appreciate your consideration. Thank you.
