Apply for Apalachicola Bay oyster harvest beginning Nov.10

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will begin accepting applications for the 2026 commercial and recreational Apalachicola Bay oyster harvest season on Nov. 10. Those interested can apply anytime between Nov. 10-Dec. 16, for the upcoming 2026 season, which will run from Jan. 1-Feb. 28.

Commercial Applicants

Commercial harvesters interested in participating in the Apalachicola Bay oyster fishery must have a commercial Apalachicola Bay Endorsement to participate in the commercial fishery for this season and to secure their participation in future seasons. To receive the AB Endorsement, an individual must apply through the online Commercial Licensing System.

To qualify for the AB Endorsement, applicants must possess an Individual or Crew Saltwater Products License and a Shellfish Endorsement (BV), have had previous Apalachicola Bay wild oyster landings between 2012 and 2020, and be a current Florida resident. All qualified applicants could receive an endorsement.

If you need assistance in applying for the AB Endorsement, FWC staff are available to help. In-person assistance will be provided at the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Apalachicola Shellfish Center, 260 Dr. Frederick S. Humphries Street, Apalachicola, on the following dates from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.:

Nov. 12-14
Nov.17-21
Nov. 24-25
Dec. 1-2
Dec. 9-10
Dec. 15-16
Recreational Applicants

There will be 245 Apalachicola Bay Recreational Opportunity Permits available for the January-February 2026 season, and available permits will be distributed through a random lottery to qualified applicants. To qualify, applicants must have a recreational fishing license unless they are exempt and be current Florida residents. Applicants will have the opportunity to rank their preferred harvest reefs, and those who are selected in the lottery will be given one bag tag for the season. Applicants must apply for the Apalachicola Bay Recreational Opportunity Permit through GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.

The rules for Apalachicola Bay wild oyster harvest will take effect later this year. The bay remains closed for wild oyster harvest through Dec. 31, 2025.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has arrested a Port St. Joe man on charges of s*x with a child.

48-year-old Michael Mock of Port Saint Joe is facing charges of s*xual battery on a victim under 12, a capital felony, and lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim under 12, a life felony.

The investigation began when the Florida Department of Children and Families received a report from the victim regarding an incident that occurred around six years prior to disclosure.

The DCF interviewer confirmed the suspect named in the disclosure was Mock.

FDLE agents issued a warrant for Mock’s arrest on November 6th, then discovered that Mock had left on a cruise out of Port Canaveral the same day.

He was subsequently arrested by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office upon his return to port on November 9th.

He is currently being held on no bond pending first appearance.

The investigation is still active.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has released an updated version of its Avian Mortality Reporting App, making it easier than ever for the public to help monitor the health of Florida’s wild bird populations.

Each year, FWC biologists investigate reports of bird deaths across the state to track diseases such as Avian Influenza, West Nile Virus and Avian Pox.

These data are vital to understanding trends, identifying emerging health threats, and protecting both wildlife and public health.

The new app streamlines the reporting process, allowing users to submit reports directly from a phone or computer using the interactive map at MyFWC.com/AvianHealth

It also makes it easier to upload photos to help biologists identify the species and evaluate possible causes, select from silhouette guides if you’re unsure of the bird species and provide detailed location information by moving a crosshair to the exact spot where the bird was found.
