The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says it is having a problem with some local oystermen harvesting undersized oysters.
In Florida, oysters have to be at least 3 inches before they can be legally harvested.
On July 30th FWC Officers conducted inspections of commercial shellfish harvesters at Cat Point oyster bar.
The officers boarded several vessels and wound up issuing seven misdemeanor citations for possession of undersized oysters.
Officers say in each of the cases between 70-77% percent of the oysters were undersized.
