Partnership focuses on increasing high school participation fishing and

conservation efforts by offering funds for fishing teams

Participation in rough-and-tumble sports is a great way to get high schoolers exer-

cising. But there are many students who want a different type of adrenaline rush than getting

tackled on the football field or tossed in the air while cheering for their team. For those stu-

dents, I strongly suggest fishing -- and there is even funding available to get a team started

or add members to an existing team.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), along with its

partners the Fishing League Worldwide Foundation and The Bass Federation s Student An-

gler Federation, are offering a grant from the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation to

encourage the creation and success of high school fishing teams and clubs in Florida. This

partnership places a particular emphasis on establishing new high school angling teams

and supporting existing ones in schools

with diverse student populations.

The program will provide

grants of up to $500 to assist with ex-

penses related to fishing team or club-
