The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will host a seatrout symposium on August 27, 2025. The event is set to take place at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The symposium aims to bring together stakeholders, scientists, and fisheries managers for discussions about the spotted seatrout fishery in the state. Attendees will have opportunities to participate in interactive sessions that are intended to influence future management of this fishery. The agenda includes presentations on the results from an updated spotted seatrout stock assessment, as well as reviews of habitat conservation and restoration efforts throughout Florida. Management considerations related to the fishery will also be discussed.
