The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rejected a request Wednesday to cancel the upcoming mini-lobster season over concerns about crowds spreading COVID-19. However, commissioners expressed concern that numerous public boat ramps will be closed in the upper Keys. Whats a little bit alarming, although we have not canceled mini season, is the fact that in Islamorada and everything north, including Monroe County, public marinas for boat ramps are being closed, Commissioner Rodney Barreto said. Spottswood said he intends to address the boat ramp issue with Monroe County officials. Thats just going to push folks to other ramps and create further congestion, Spottswood said.
