The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) re-opened state waters offshore of Escambia County to the harvest of shrimp at 12:01 a.m. on August 17, 2010.
The FWC had temporarily closed this area to the harvest of fish, shrimp and crabs on June 14 as a precautionary measure due to possible effects of oil from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The FWC reopened the area to the harvest of fish on July 31.
