FWC schedules mullet workshops

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has scheduled a series of public workshops regarding Florida’s commercial mullet fishery.

The Commission is considering ways to allow more fishing opportunities for commercial mullet fishermen, including possibly modifying the July-through-January weekend closures for the commercial harvest of mullet.

The FWC encourages interested people to participate at the workshops, all of which will be held from 6-8 p.m., as follows:

Monday, Feb. 11 Regency Square Regional Library 9900 Regency Square Blvd. Jacksonville	Tuesday, Feb. 12 Central Brevard Library and Reference Center 308 Forrest Ave. Cocoa
Tuesday, Feb. 19 Gulf Coast Community College, Student Union East Gibson Lecture Hall, 2nd Floor Conference Room 5230 W. U.S. Highway 98 Panama City	Wednesday, Feb. 20 Tallahassee Community College 5 Crescent Way Crawfordville
Monday, Feb. 25 FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Karen A. Steidinger Auditorium 100 Eighth Ave., S.E. St. Petersburg	Tuesday, Feb. 26 Joseph P. D’Alessandro Office Complex 2295 Victoria Ave. Ft. Myers
Wednesday, Feb. 27 City Hall Council Chambers 123 N.W. Highway 19 Crystal River
