“Since I’m relatively inexperienced, I thought this would be a great way to learn the practical aspects of sustainable fishing so that I can fish sustainably and educate others whether I am fishing for work or for fun,” said Sarah, a course participant.
Not only is this course a great way for new anglers to become more familiar with fishing but it is also beneficial for anglers unfamiliar with Florida waters.
“Being from Indiana, I wanted to make sure that I am educated on different species of fish that I might catch, both for their safety and mine. I found this course really helpful,” stated Tyler, a course participant.
The course is comprised of three modules that cover environmental ethics, best fishing practices and fisheries management, which are essential for any angler who wants to protect fisheries and the environment.
These modules can be accessed any time after registration and, upon completion of the course, you will receive an electronic certificate and a commemorative weatherproof Florida Friendly Angler decal that will be mailed to you by providing your contact information.
Florida Friendly Angler was created through the partnership of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), UF/IFAS Extension and Florida Sea Grant. Register at FLfriendlyangler.com and share your achievement with friends on social media using the tag #FloridaFriendlyAngler!
