New fishing regulations take effect January 19, 2010 for the Atlantic Coast of Florida. Starting January 19th this year and January 1st in 2011 and beyond, harvest of Atlantic shallow-water groupers (gag, red, black, scamp, rock hind, red hind, coney, graysby, yellowfin, yellowmouth, and tiger groupers) will be closed through April in Atlantic and Monroe counties.
Two other sets of regulations take effect January 19th, 2010 for Florida's Atlantic waters. New reef fish regulations will require the use of a dehooking device in Atlantic waters. New regulations for the harvest of sharks are as follows:
