Florida's Red Snapper Season Halted by Court

Floridas 39-day recreational red snapper season, set to start on Memorial Day, has been halted by a federal court injunction. The states special permit program, allowing more time on the water, is frozen. Governors office sees this as a temporary setback, with fishing still allowed in state waters. The extended season in federal waters is on hold due to concerns of overfishing and depleting the red snapper population. Florida officials argue there are enough fish and plan to reinstate the permits, aiming to restart the 39-day season for coastal economies.
