Agenda

We are excited to bring together stakeholders, scientists, and fisheries managers for an in-depth discussion on the spotted seatrout fishery in Florida. We are also pleased to welcome representatives from the Tampa Bay Estuary Program and the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program, who will share how their efforts are helping protect and preserve the critical habitats that support our fisheries.

Help Shape the Future of Seatrout Management

This symposium marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the management of spotted seatrout. Building on the success of FWC's holistic management strategies for redfish and snook, the FWC is now exploring a similar approach for spotted seatrout: use multiple metrics to manage on a smaller regional scale.

We invite all interested stakeholders to join the conversation and help shape the future of this fishery.
