Grouper Fishing Reopens in Some Florida Waters

The recreational and commercial harvest of shallow-water groupers (including gag, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, red hind, rock hind, coney, graysby, yellowfin grouper, yellowmouth grouper and tiger grouper) will reopen on May 1 in all Atlantic Ocean and Monroe County waters. The harvest of these groupers has been closed since Jan. 1 to address overfishing of grouper in the Atlantic.
