NEW REGULATIONS PROTECT AGAINST OVERFISHING

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Starting Jan. 1, the following regulations will go into effect for recreational harvest of blueline tilefish in Atlantic state waters:

▩ A three blueline tilefish recreational bag limit within the three-fish aggregate bag limit for grouper and tilefish in Atlantic state waters.
