FWC Law Enforcement Report

August 15, 2017

The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending August 10 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY

Officer Manning checked four individuals fishing in Escambia Bay. After a resource inspection, he found that they were in possession of more than 50 spotted seatrout. The fisherman claimed they were fishing commercially, but only one possessed the required license. Officer Manning issued the three remaining individuals criminal notices to appear for the violations.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY

Officers continue to patrol shorebird nesting areas around the Navarre Causeway, educating the public on the importance of protecting our imperiled species by not disturbing the nesting areas. Officers Ramos and Lugg informed two individuals who were walking through the protected area.
