County Commissioners this week heard from a new organization
with plans to represent the oyster industry.
Jimmy Lashley, representing the Franklin County Seafood
Workers Task Force, said the group plans to address specific oyster-related issues
through the legislative and even legal channels if needed.
They are already begun work on concerns with the ongoing
shelling program and with the re-opening of the East Hole oyster bar.
Jimmy told commissioners that the Task Force was created
when oystermen complained that they weren’t being adequately represented and he
hopes that the county commission and the task force can work closely together.
Mister Lashley said the group already has 100 members, with
plans for a second membership meeting on January the 31st at the
Apalachicola Community Center.
