In Florida, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has received anecdotal reports that in certain areas of south and central Florida, harvesting effort has increased. As a result, there is a concern about blue land crab populations. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has passed a rule to limit the take of blue land crabs:
68B-54.002 Statewide Open and Closed Seasons for Harvesting Blue Land Crabs.
(1) Blue Land Crabs shall only be harvested during the open season, which is from November 1 of each year through June 30 of the following year.
(2) No person shall harvest, attempt to harvest, or possess any blue land crab during the period beginning on July 1 and continuing through October 31 of each year.
Bag Limit - No person shall harvest in any one day or possess at any time more than 20 blue land crabs.
