The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has extended the boundaries of the closed fishing area in the Gulf of Mexico up to the state water line in Alabama and the western tip of the Florida Panhandle. This federal closure does not apply to any of Florida’s waters. Closing fishing in these areas is a precautionary measure to ensure that seafood from the Gulf will remain safe for consumers.
At this time, Florida’s state waters remain open to recreational fishing.
Fishermen who wish to contact BP about a claim should call (800) 440-0858.
Report oiled wildlife to the Wildlife Distress Hotline at (866) 557-1401.
For the safety of the public as well as the safety of animals, trained responders should conduct all rescues.
