(1) The purpose and intent of Rules 68B-31.006 through 68B-31.015, F.A.C., are to protect and conserve Florida’s shrimp resources and to provide comprehensive, uniform management rules for shrimping to eliminate inconsistent, piecemeal local regulation of shrimp harvest.
(2) It is the intent of these rules to expressly effect the repeal of and replace subsections (1), (2), (3), and portions of subsection (6) of Florida Statutes § 370.15 (1991), paragraphs (4)(c), (d), and (e), and portions of subsection (5) of Sections 370.153 and 370.157, F.S. (1991). It is the intent of these rules to repeal the last three distinct sentences of subsection (6) of Florida Statutes § 370.15 (1991), and paragraphs (b) and (d) of subsection (5) of Florida Statutes § 370.153 (1991). The Marine Fisheries Commission has determined that the repeal of these provisions will not adversely affect the shrimp resources of the State of Florida.
(3) The adoption of these rules is intended to coincide with the repeal of certain special acts (local laws) or portions thereof, which are rules of the Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to subsection (5) of section 2 of Chapter 83-134, as amended by Chapter 84-121, Laws of Florida.

The law closes all the inside waters of these counties to all shrimp harvest of shrimp from July 1 through September 30 each year and from December 1 through March 31 of the succeeding year.
