Lobster Season is Upon Us!

Any lobster harvested in The Bahamas during their open season cannot be transported by private vessel into state waters during Florida's closed season. Lobsters brought back to Florida must be in whole condition (not tailed). When transporting by air to any U.S. destination you should contact the U.S. Fish Wildlife Services for regulations regarding transport of lobster, fish or conch.
