COMMENTS
ON
DECISION
BY
FLORIDA
FISH
&
WILDLIFE
COMMISSION
TO
REJECT
SHORTENED
SNAPPER
SEASON
Marianna
- “I am thankful that the commissioners made a
good decision for Florida by choosing a course
of action that does not weaken the Panhandle
economy.”
“Further restricting red snapper daily catch
limits and shortening the fishing season off
Florida's coast would have put many hard-working
Floridians out of a job at a time when too many
of our friends and neighbors are already
struggling to keep the doors of their businesses
open. I am pleased that the commissioners heard
those of us committed to preserving the
Panhandle economy and listened to the many
charter captains and business owners who asked
them to put common sense and the needs of
Floridians first. “
