availablesaltwater fishing teams are encouraged to apply for anglers

for student saltwater grants before the

application deadline of Sept. 15, 2016. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Com-

mission (FWC), along with its partners the Fishing League Worldwide Foundation and

The Bass Federation s Student Angler Federation, have made $500 Recreational Boating &

Fishing Foundation grants available to saltwater teams and clubs in Florida.

This grant partnership encourages the creation and success of Florida high school fishing

teams and clubs, with a particular emphasis placed on establishing new high school angling

teams and supporting existing ones in schools with diverse student populations. The grants

were originally only available to freshwater student anglers, but are now also available to

saltwater student anglers.

The program will provide grants of up to $500 per club or team to assist with ex-

penses related to fishing team or club-sponsored tournaments, team jerseys, insurance, and

education for novice anglers. Supported teams and clubs will also partner with the FWC,

FLW Foundation and The Bass Federation to complete a conservation project. The program

not only benefits students, but program participants and their families will receive education

on conservation programs, aquatic and marine biology, and boating and angler safety.
