Bay scallop season closes today in Franklin County

Bay scallop season closes today in Franklin County.

The season closes today in waters from Franklin through northwest Taylor County (including Carrabelle, Lanark and St. Marks.)

If you still want to get some bay scallops there are still a few days left to harvest in Gulf County waters.

The St. Joe Bay will remain open for scalloping through September 30th - that includes all state waters from the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County through the westernmost point of St. Vincent Island in Franklin County.

Last summer, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission implemented staggered season start and end dates for bay scallop harvest.

The FWC wants public feedback on the staggered season structure before deciding how to manage the season in the future.

You can Share your comments on what you would like to see for a future season structure at MyFWC.com/SaltwaterComments.

You can also help FWC’s scallop researchers by completing an online survey indicating where they harvested scallops, how many they collected and how long it took to harvest them.
