Recreational and commercial blue crab traps must be removed from some Northwest Florida waters before Jan. 5, the first day of a 10-day trap closure, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC).
In Northwest Florida, blue crab traps may not be in state waters from the Florida/Alabama state line through the Franklin/Wakulla county line from Jan. 5 through Jan. 14. State waters include shore to three nautical miles, including intercoastal waterways.
