FWC Exempts Keys from New Gulf Grouper Harvest Rules

State waters of Monroe County generally are managed to conform with South Atlantic federal rules, Schlesinger noted.
A Feb. 1 to March 31 closed season for all recreational harvest of shallow-water groupers (gag, black, red, yellowfin, scamp, yellowmouth, rock hind and red hind) in gulf state waters also will not apply in Monroe County.
