Thursday is the last day to purchase
your Apalachicola Bay Oyster Harvesting license before the 500 dollar late fee
takes effect.
You have to have the license to commercially
harvest oysters from the Apalachicola Bay System beginning July 1st.
The licenses cost of 100 dollars for Florida residents
and 500 dollars for non-residents.
Starting today the licenses will be sold at the Franklin’s
Promise Office at the old Apalachicola High School on 14th street in
Apalachicola.
The location was moved to handle the crowds that are
expected this week.
If you waited till the last week, remember you also have to take a 20 minute
seminar before you can buy the license.
The seminar
is required by the Federal Food and Drug Administration for all oyster
harvesters.
The seminar is being shown all day today, Wednesday and Thursday
at the Franklin’s Promise Office .
The seminar
is
also available on-line at www.myfwc.com/shellfish.
