Attention CCCIA Members - Smalltooth Sawfish
The federal government (namely the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Marine Fisheries Service) recently drafted a rule that would designate habitats where the smalltooth sawfish can be found. This fish was placed on the endangered species list, and in a subsequent law suit settlement, they agreed to do this. In this rule, all of the Cape Coral canals south of Pine Island Road have been identified as habitat for this fish. Click here to view letter | Click here to review ruling [ members only ]
