Florida Bay Scallop:


Current Status and FWC`s Monitoring Program

Guest Speaker: Steve Geiger of FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute

Florida bay scallop monitoring, management and restoration have progressed from simple restoration projects in 1972 to the current comprehensive program. A 16-year monitoring effort has revealed long-term shifts and dramatic variability in adult populations. Scallop recruits are observed in discrete fall and spring peaks as well as
in protracted periods of very low recruitment. Today, the primary goal of scallop restoration in Florida involves multi-institutional cooperation with the goal of restoring
critical links in the Gulf coast metapopulation.
