Commercial blue crab fishery reopened today

The harvest of blue crabs from traps in all waters of Franklin County west to the Florida-Alabama border reopens today. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission prohibited the use of traps to capture blue crabs for a 10-day period in this area so that lost and abandoned traps that remained in coastal and inland waters could be identified and removed. Six regional 10-day blue crab trap closures take place in Florida at different times during the year, including a 10-day closure that begins on Jan. 16 in all waters of the St. Johns River system.
