The FWC, not content with ending shark dives in Florida, continues its assault on divers with proposed changes to lobster mini-season in Monroe County (the keys). See the link:

One small step at a time, divers will not be welcome here. I believe these efforts to be sponsored by commercial fishing interests, and they are using the environment as an excuse. That is why the feeding ban doesn't apply to fishing and this proposed change applies only to the sport season.
