The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has issued executive orders to protect Florida’s snook, bonefish and tarpon fisheries from further harm caused by the recent prolonged cold weather in the state, which has caused widespread saltwater fish kills. These executive orders extends the statewide snook closure seasons through August 13, 2010. This means that no person can possess a snook during the next eigth months. Any snook caught must be immediately released alive.
