Freshwater Fisheries Open House

The Freshwater Fisheries Section announces a series of four regional public open houses to discuss proposed changes to South Carolina state laws regulating freshwater fishing. The goals of these proposed changes are to promote consistency and modernize the statutes to ensure proper management. Each open house will begin with a brief presentation on the proposed changes, completed actions and future steps. Following the presentation all attendees will be invited to discuss specific changes with SCDNR fisheries biologists, legal staff and law enforcement officers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to provide written comment.
