Oyster harvesting and handling training starts next week in Apalachicola

Oyster harvesting licenses will go on sale in May and if you plan on getting one don’t forget you have to go to an educational seminar first.

The shellfish harvesting and handling training is required for all oyster harvesters by the Federal Food and Drug Administration.

This is the second year that requirement has been in place.

You can start taking the seminar next week at the shellfish center at Scipio Creek in Apalachicola.

The training will be held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 3 PM.

Once you have completed the seminar you can purchase your Oyster harvesters license starting on May the 18th.

You can get your saltwater products license at the same time.

The cost of the license is still 100 dollars for Florida residents and 500 dollars for non-residents as long as you buy your license by June 30th.
