| The annual spiny
lobster sport season is held annually on the last consecutive
Wednesday and Thursday of July each year. This year the sport
season begins at 12:01 am on July 25 and ends at 11:59 pm on
July 26, 2007. A saltwater fishing license and a lobster permit
are required to participate in the sport season. The cost of
the fishing license for Florida residents is $13.50 and the
lobster permit is $2. Both can be purchased at any of the Tax
Collector’s offices. The bag limits are 12 per person per
day with the exception of Monroe County and Biscayne National
Park where the bag limits are 6 per person per day. The possession
limit on the water is equal to the daily bag limit, and off
the water is equal to the daily bag limit on the first day and
double the daily bag limit on the second day. Possession limits
are enforced on and off the water. |
