WEEKLY REPORT
May 18 – 24, 2012
This report represents some events the FWC handled over the past week; however,
it does not include all actions taken by the Division of Law Enforcement.
NORTHWEST REGION
SANTA ROSA COUNTY
On Mulat Bayou, Officers Nick Barnard and Christopher Pettey checked a commercial oysterman in possession of two bags of oysters harvested earlier in the day. The oysters had not been culled as required. The subject claimed he was going to cull them at home, and later return the bedding shells to the oyster bed. The subject was cited for the violation.
OKALOOSA COUNTY
Lt. Mark Hollinhead spent several days locating subjects who failed to return their federal alligator CITES tags or harvest report form after their alligator public hunt permit expired. Two subjects were cited for permit violations after it was determined they were not concerned with returning the CITES tags as required.
WALTON COUNTY
Okaloosa and Walton County officers conducted an organized special detail to enforce boating safety, boating under the influence, and rules and regulations for flounder in Choctawhatchee Bay. During the detail, officers responded to the search and rescue of a missing boater and worked two minor boating accidents. Fifty-six vessels and 116 users were checked resulting in 14 warnings and one uniform boating citation issued. Numerous flounder were inspected for size limit violations.
