📢 CALLING ALL FLORIDIANS! 

This November, YOU have the chance to pass an amendment to the state’s constitution that will forever secure the right to #fish and #hunt in the sunshine state. By voting YES on Amendment 2, you’ll ensure future generations will continue to enjoy world-class angling opportunities and protect Florida’s $14 billion recreational fishing economy. If passed, Amendment 2 will not lift existing net bans in the state or diminish the authority of the @myfwc. 

Florida has it all when it comes to recreational fishing. 🎣 Join us in taking the pledge that you will vote yes and help us #KeepFloridaFishing! 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐎

True happiness? A child, a rod and reel, and a pond full of fish. 🎣 

Introducing kids to fishing? Dock and shoreline fishing is a great way to go. It’s accessible, simple and offers a relaxing environment for young anglers to learn the basics without the need for a boat. Start small, keep trips short, mix in other activities, and bring lots of snacks. With temps beginning to cool from summer highs, now is a great time to get out and wet a line.

Earlier this month, Senators @joemanchin (I-WV) and @lindseygrahamsc (R-SC) introduced the bipartisan Protecting Whales, Human Safety, and the Economy Act of 2024. This legislation aims to protect the interests of recreational anglers and boaters by preventing NOAA from changing the existing North Atlantic Right Whale vessel strike reduction rule until at least 2030.

Visit our Action Center and urge Congress to support this key piece of legislation. 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐎
