Precautionary Temporary Closures Area 1642 – Apalachicola Bay


Precautionary Temporary Closures
Area 1642 – Apalachicola Bay
Beginning February 13, 2012, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Aquaculture will implement small, temporary zonal closures of shellfish harvesting area #1642.    
This is being done to minimize impacts to shellfish harvesting areas during the course of two projects in Apalachicola Bay.  The temporary closure zones will move as work is completed in each area.  Each closure zone will be reopened for harvesters as work is completed in that area.  Updated maps will be posted on the Division of Aquaculture’s web site at: http://www.floridaaquaculture.com/pdfmaps/1642.pdf
Weekly map updates will be distributed to certified shellfish processors in the area and will also be available at the Division of Aquaculture’s Apalachicola Shellfish Center located at 260 Dr. Frederick S. Humphries Street. 
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please call the Apalachicola Shellfish Center at 850-653-8317 or Chris Brooks at 850-410-0858.
