• LOOK AHEAD: Oystermen prepare for partial reopening of Apalachicola Bay (wtxl.com) — Crawfordville-based oystermen say the partial reopening of Apalachicola Bay early next year shouldn’t flood the market or hurt Wakulla County oyster businesses. Local owners explain that strict harvest limits, slower post-holiday dining, and competition from out-of-state oysters matter more than the bay’s limited reopening. They largely welcome the change as a positive step for the region’s oystering culture.
