PASCO COUNTY, Fla. – The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is gathering public feedback on potential changes to the bay scallop season for the Pasco County Zone.
The Pasco County Zone currently has a 10-day season in rule but a longer, trial season was set by executive order in 2023 to assess whether extending the season would balance resource sustainability with community interests.
Based on the outcome of this recent season, staff are exploring different options for future seasons in the Pasco County Zone.
