Stonecommercial and recreational harvest of stone crab claws in16 closes on

crab season closes May Florida

May 16, with the last day of harvest on May 15. This closure occurs each year during the

species peak spawning season to help protect and sustain Florida s valuable stone crab

resource. Stone crab season will reopen on Oct. 15.

Commercially harvested stone crab claws may be possessed and sold during the

closed season but only if they have been placed in inventory prior to May 16 by a licensed

wholesale or retail dealer.

Stone crab traps must be removed from the water within five days after the close of

the stone crab season unless a special extension is granted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife

Conservation Commission (FWC).

Learn more about the stone crab harvest season by visiting MyFWC.com/Fishing

and clicking on "Saltwater" and then either "Recreational Regulations" or "Commercial."
