several species reopens to recreational and commercial harvest. The following species will

reopen to harvest May 1: gag, black, red, yellowmouth, yellowfin and tiger grouper; scamp;

red hind; rock hind; coney; and graysby.

The harvest of these species of grouper will remain open until Jan. 1, 2017. These

species are closed annually from Jan. 1 through April 30 each year as a measure to ensure

the long-term sustainability of Atlantic grouper species. State waters in the Atlantic are from

shore to 3 nautical miles out.

Recreational anglers targeting these species may not take more than three grouper

per person per day. Within this three-fish limit, anglers may possess only one gag or black

Dehooking tools must be aboard commercial and recreational vessels for use as

More information about grouper bag and size limits, gear restrictions and fishing

seasons, including a new map of the Atlantic and Gulf grouper fishing boundaries, is avail-
