FUTURE PUBLIC MEETINGS:
;/
AUSTIN - The Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department is cur-
rently seeking public comment
on proposed changes in com-
mercial shrimp and oyster reg-
ulations. The proposals will be
considered for adoption by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Com-
mission at its May 21 public
hearing.
The recommended changes
include:
Proposed Shrimp Regulation:
Eliminate the count/size re-
quirement for commercial bay
shrimpers in inside waters;
Under current rule, commer-
cial bay shrimpers may not ex-
ceed the legal shrimp count of
50 heads-on shrimp per pound

of shrimp during the fall season
(August 15 - October 31). The
department recently held sev-
eral meetings with the shrimp-
ing community to discuss their
concerns and listen to their
suggestions related to current
shrimp regulations. Members
of the community suggested the
department remove this count
requirement. TPWD staff agree
with this suggestion as shrimp
often die when they are caught,
leading to undersized shrimp
being thrown back resulting in a
waste of the resource.
Clarifications to Existing
Shrimp Regulations:
Update a reference to the ef-
fective date of federal rules stip-
ulating turtle excluder device
(TEDs) requirements;
Correct an outdated statement
regarding the waters in which
TEDs are required.
Proposed Oyster Regulations:
Require dead oyster shell greater
than 3/4” to be returned to the
th

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is considering regulations that could affect local commercial
reef at the time of harvest and be shrimp and oyster industries. Public comment can be made at any of the two local meetings sched-
counted as an undersized oys-

sack of oysters” to include dead oyster shell greater than 3/4”.
Many of the state’s oyster
reefs have been depleted and
hundreds of thousands of cubic
yards of cultch (material, such
as oyster shell, that furnishes a
place for larval oysters to attach
and grow to maturity) have been
removed from the states public
oyster reefs as a consequence of
oyster dredging. The majority of
the cultch removed from public
reefs is not recovered. The con-
tinuing removal of shell from
oyster habitat poses a threat to
the viability of the states oyster
fishery, because a reduction in
the cultch juvenile oysters de-
pend on for growth results in
less recruitment and, potentially,
fewer legal-sized oysters.
Comment on these proposals
may be made in person at the
following public meetings:
Rockport: Wednesday, April
29, 7 p.m., Aransas County
Court Room, 301 N. Live Oak
Port Lavaca: Thursday, April
30, 7 p.m., USDA Service Cen-
ter, Bauer Exhibit Building, 186
County Road 101
For those who cannot attend
the scheduled public meetings
and would like additional de-
tails, new online resources for
getting involved include re-
corded video presentations of
the proposals and the ability to
provide public comment online
at tpwd.texas.gov/business/feed-
back/public_comment/.
Public comment may also be
made by phone or e-mail to Jer-
emy Leitz (512) 389-4333; email:
jeremy.leitz@tpwd.texas.gov,
and in writing to Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department, 4200
Smith School Road, Austin, Tex-
as 78744. The commission will
also accept comment during its
May 21 public hearing in Austin.
