The
Gulf County bay scallop season will open to harvest this
Saturday.
The bay scallop harvest
was originally scheduled to begin on July 25th but was postponed
after a Pseudo-nitzschia bloom was found in the St. Joe Bay.
The
FWC said this week that recent samples have indicated that the
scallops in St. Joseph Bay are safe for human consumption and meet
FDA requirements for opening harvest in the bay.
It
won't be a very long scallop season.
The
2017 season will be open for 16 days, with the last day of harvest
on October 8th.
The
season will be for all state waters from the Mexico Beach Canal in
Bay County through the westernmost point of St. Vincent Island in
Franklin County.
The
daily bag limit is 2 gallons of whole bay scallops in the shell or 1
pint of bay scallop meat per person, with a maximum of 10
gallons of whole bay scallops in shell or 1/2 gallon bay
scallop meat per vessel.
