5.3.8 Florida Counties with Commercial Landings of Spiny Lobster5.3.8.1 IntroductionSeven counties account for about 99.5 percent of Florida’s annual commercial landings of Caribbean spiny lobster, with Monroe County dominating by taking about 90 percent of the landings year after year. See Table 5.3.12. Both Monroe and Dade (Miami-Dade) Counties combined account for about 96 percent of the state’s annual commercial landings. According to the FWRI (2007), most of the lobsters landed outside Monroe and Dade Counties from 1992 though 2006 were caught in the Keys and sold to wholesale dealers operating in Palm Beach County.
