This week’s Commissioner’s Spotlight from Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson is reminding consumers that seafood currently being harvested in Florida is safe and has not been impacted by the oil spill in the gulf, as he is concerned that misinformation about the conditions in the gulf waters may unnecessarily impact the state’s seafood industry.
In response to the Deepwater Horizon Incident in the Gulf of Mexico, Bronson’s Division of Aquaculture is actively evaluating the latest reports from the official clearinghouse of information at http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com and evaluating predictions of spill movement, weather patterns and projected landfall points.
