FWC commissioner: New shoreline fishing license will help boost marine resources
By now, anyone who fishes along Florida’s coasts has probably heard that the shoreline fishing license exemption for Florida residents has been eliminated. Gov. Charlie Crist recently signed into law a shoreline saltwater fishing license bill. The law takes effect Aug. 1 and is of primary importance to Florida residents. I say Florida residents because since 1989 they have been exempted from needing a license when fishing for saltwater fish from the shore or a structure attached to shore — like a dock, pier or bridge. Out-of-state residents 16 years of age and older always have needed a license.
