Some highlights of the Nov. 20 agenda include:

A summary of stakeholder concerns about great barracuda management in south Florida.
Discussions on conflict wildlife and partnership and outreach efforts.
Highlights of the Nov. 21 session include:
Proposals to increase hunting opportunities, including establishing a new wildlife management area in northwest Florida and expanding turkey harvesting hours on 16 hunting areas.
Proposals to expand using smaller deer management units to the rest of the state to better match harvest timing to habitat-based deer biology.
