The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted 6-1 to take steps toward lifting a 31-year ban on catching the goliath grouper, a species that can reach upwards of 600 pounds and lives among the reefs and wrecks of the South Florida coast.

State fishery managers will discuss possibly reopening Goliath grouper to harvest and interactions between fishermen and sharks in Florida waters on Wednesday, May 12, and also discuss implementing a tag system to harvest spiny lobster in the Florida Keys during the two-day sport season when it meets Thursday, May 13.
