Changes to the commercial restricted species endorsement effective July 1
Several changes to the commercial saltwater restricted species endorsement go into effect July 1, 2015.
A restricted species endorsement allows commercially licensed fishermen to harvest and sell certain species.
Changes to the restricted species endorsement include:
- Providing an additional method for individuals to document a permanent disability.
- Increasing the amount of time a family member of a restricted species endorsement holder, who dies or becomes disabled, has to apply for a restricted species endorsement from one to three years and waiving the income qualification requirement for a full license year once the family member receives the endorsement.
- Modifying the qualification requirements to prevent misuse of an exemption that allows fishermen to obtain a restricted species endorsement when purchasing a used commercial fishing vessel.
- Removing language referencing outdated provisions.
- Clarifying and updating language on what forms of income verification are acceptable.
- Defining the term “immediate family.”
These changes were approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at its April meeting in Tallahassee.
