Florida's quote of the day
"If we allowed it, the Chinese -- more than 1 billion Chinese -- could and probably would eat every single turtle in existence in Florida in one year."

The agency enacted a temporary rule last fall and began work on the proposed rule after Gov. Charlie Crist sent a letter urging action.
