If you are looking for an eco-minded fishing guide as you schedule your spring and summer fishing trips, check out the Florida Friendly Fishing Guide certification program.
The Florida Friendly Fishing Guide certification recognizes saltwater and freshwater fishing guides who are committed to preserving Florida’s fisheries through sustainable boating and fishing techniques.
There are currently two local guides listed in the program, Natural World Charters out of Carrabelle and Bali Hai Charters in Port St. Joe.
The program was established last year to help guides provide a richer fishing experience for their clients through their angling expertise and environmental stewardship.
This online certification course covers science-based techniques that ensure a minimal environmental footprint and includes subjects such as best practices for catch-and-release fishing, seafood safety and handling, and an introduction to fisheries management.
Participating guides can put the Florida Friendly Fishing Guide logo on their websites and vessels, letting customers know that they adhere to the highest environmental standards.
