Summary
The resolution lets the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries issue permits so tournament anglers can keep red drum larger than the 27‑inch limit, but only for events that have run at least five years, include a bull‑red category, and last no more than four days once a year. It aims to preserve traditional tournament activities and their economic impact while keeping overall red drum recovery goals intact.
