Two premier recreational fisheries will soon have new
protections in place, a measure aimed at ensuring that tarpon and
bonefish’s economic and fishing value remain for generations to come.
Tarpon and bonefish become catch-and-release only fisheries beginning
Sept. 1.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) approved these proactive management measures at its June 12
meeting in Lakeland. The catch-and-release proposal was adopted in
recognition of the fact that the economic and fishing values of bonefish
and tarpon greatly exceed their value as food fishes.
