FWC Escape Ring Requirements (Florida)

Under Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rules for crab traps:

  • Wire traps must have at least three unobstructed escape rings installed on a vertical outer surface adjacent to each chamber.

  • Each escape ring must have an inside diameter of at least 2 3/8 inches.

  • This helps reduce bycatch and allows smaller or non-target species to escape the trap.
