FWC suspends harvest of Suwannee bass in the Wakulla River to aid conservation efforts
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will temporarily prohibit possession and harvest of Suwannee bass for no less than 24 months in the Wakulla River and its tributaries, effective immediately. This restriction includes the river’s headwaters at Wakulla Springs and extends to its convergence with the St. Marks River, near the town of St. Marks.
