The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) is considering permanently increasing the bay scallop season in Pasco County from 10 to 40 days. This decision is based on stakeholder feedback and post-season bay scallop surveys conducted by the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute. Both the FWC and the charter captains have concerns about overharvesting and want to ensure a sustainable population of bay scallops for future generations.
