Florida Gill Net Ban

November 8, 2013 By: Erin Block

A recent ruling by Circuit Court Judge Jackie Fulford has allowed gill netting to once again take place in Florida waters. However, The Coastal Conservation Association is intervening to uphold the Constitutional Amendment limiting marine net fishing. “CCA will spend every penny in its coffers to protect the constitutional ban on gill netting,” says CCA Chairman, Jim Williams. Help protect this fishery by donating or signing the CCA’s net ban petition.
