Fish and Wildlife officers issued a number of citations last week during an oysterboat check in the area of Cat Point.
Officers checked 18 vessels inspecting safety equipment, size tolerance on the oysters, as well as license requirements for the harvesters.
During the detail, the officers issued 12 misdemeanor citations, one infraction citation and 14 written warnings.
Two misdemeanor citations were for possession of undersize oysters and ten misdemeanor citations were issued to people working with no saltwater products licenses and no Apalachicola Bay oyster harvest permits.
The infraction citation was issued for insufficient number of personal flotation devices and the 14 warnings were issued for various safety equipment violations.
