Scallops

Citrus County concluded this year's scallop season, which business officials described as good, but not great. "We think that people are pumping their brakes a little bit, you know, because they're uncertain about the economy," said Josh Wooten, Citrus County Chamber of Commerce president and CEO.

The Pasco Zone will reopen for scalloping on Sept 6 through Sept. 21, according to a release.

The scallop season was temporarily closed in the Pasco Zone on Wednesday after officials detected an organism that can produce neurotoxins.

Beginning July 1 st , Florida’s state waters will be open for bay scallop harvest. This scalloping season will be twelve times as long as 2017’s, thanks...
