Introduction
This publication is provided as a guide to Florida fishing laws and regulations. The Florida
Administrative Code is the final authority on fishing laws. The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) strives to ensure information in this booklet is accurate,
but assumes no liability for any errors that occur in this publication. Contact the FWC if you
have any questions on issues not covered in this booklet. A continuously updated electronic
version of this publication is available at MyFWC.com/Fishing by clicking on "Saltwater" and

How your license fee helps
The money collected from saltwater fishing licenses is used
to improve and restore fish habitat and for marine fisheries
research, law enforcement and public education on marine
resources. An additional $.50 fee will be charged for any license
or permit not purchased directly from the county tax collector. Obtain immediate license privileges, 24 hours a day,
at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com or by calling toll-free 888-FISHFLORIDA (347-4356). Processing fees will apply to telephone
and Internet sales.
By purchasing a fishing license, fishing equipment and motorboat fuel, you also support the Sport Fish Restoration program, a
user-pay public-benefit system that funds sport fish conservation projects.
