The recreational and commercial harvest seasons for spiny lobster in Florida are set to reopen soon.
Spiny lobsters are popular to catch, especially in the southern portion of the state.
A special two-day spiny lobster sport season will be held this Wednesday and Thursday to let recreational harvesters collect spiny lobsters before commercial lobster traps are placed in the water on August 1st.
During the two-day spiny lobster sport season, divers and snorkelers are allowed to take up to six lobsters per person daily in Monroe County and Biscayne National Park waters and 12 lobsters per person daily in other Florida waters
The regular lobster season runs August 6th through March 31st.
Recreational lobster fishermen must have a saltwater fishing license and a spiny lobster permit to harvest spiny lobsters; Harvesters also must make sure their spiny lobsters have a carapace length greater than 3 inches to take them, and divers must possess a measuring device and measure all lobsters while in the water.
