The designation of catch and release for snook, tarpon, and boneflsh will allow FWC biologists to assess the true impacts of the mortality event and, if necessary, to devise appropriate management strategies. We applaud FWC's response to the cold-induced mortality, which reflects your commitment to fisheries conservation and management. In this light, Bonefish & Tarpon Trust proposes that FWC consider instituting a catch and release season for Pennit (Trachinottls falcatus) during spavming season (April through June) as it is likely that as a consequence of cold -induced mortality to other species additional fishing pressure will be redirected toward pennit during their period of greatest vulnerability. The timing of this spawning season is documented by an FWC study published in 2002, similar studies from Cuba and Belize, and by fish census data from the Dry Tortugas. FWC already has spawning season closures for numerous fish species, including snook, so a spavming season closure is not unprecedented. BTT suggests this precautionary approach because harvesting fish from spawning aggregations may cause significant population declines. The FWC study from 2002 stated that the pennit population could decline quickly in response to moderate levels of fishing pressure, The most notable regional examples of population declines resulting from harvesting from spawning aggregations are Nassau grouper and mutton snapper. In locations where these species' spawning aggregations were targeted for harvest, populations declined to such an extent that they are now considered 'fisheries extinct' - Given the difficulty in restoring fish populations that have declined, and the potential hann of harvesting from spawning aggregations, BTT requests that FWC considers catch and release regulations during spawning season. To underscore the commitment to fisheries conservation and management, BTT further requests that FWC consider extending the catch and release regulations for bonefish to the end of the 2010 calendar year. Presently, the catch and release regulations for bonefish end on March 1. 2010.

Finally, given the confusion over the definition and interpretation of 'catch and release', BIT suggests that during 20 10, FWC convenes a panel of outside scientists with expertise in catch and release. This would provide a strong definition of catch and release that would be appropriate for bonefish, tarpon, permit and other gamefish.

ITEM BACKGROUND: The Census Bureau will be conducting their survey of Monroe County door-to-door rather than by mail as it provides a more accurate accounting of Monroe County's seasonal residents and non- traditional living styles (live-aboards). The 1990 mail-in response rate was 51%; the door-to-door survey method is considered more accurate. Data collected from the census directly affects future federal funding opportunities. There will be 1000 census-takers working throughout Monroe County. The census will begin on March 22,2010 and conclude within 6 weeks. Law enforcement should be fully aware of what is going on to assuage any fears that residents may have and to distinguish the real census-takers from imposters.
