At its May meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued an executive order to close recreational harvest of red grouper in state waters of the Gulf of Mexico, excluding state waters off Monroe County. The 2024 recreational season will be closed from July 1 through Dec. 31, consistent with the closure in Gulf federal waters.
Consistent state and federal recreational seasons for red grouper will help prevent quota overages and future harvest opportunities.
