FWC seeking volunteers to work upcoming Martin county kids’ fishing clinic
Can you cast a line without snagging a shrub?
Do you know what an improved clinch knot is.
Can you tell a snapper from a snook?
Are you an ethical angler and interested in sharing those
ideals with youngsters?
If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)
asks that you consider volunteering at an
upcoming fishing clinic for children.
The FWC will host a free kids’ fishing clinic
September 10th at Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach.
The goal of the clinic is to create responsible
marine resource stewards by teaching children about the
vulnerability of Florida’s marine ecosystems and ethical
angling skills. The FWC also strives to teach
fundamental saltwater fishing knowledge and to provide
kids with a positive fishing experience.
Volunteers are needed to work educational stations on
fishing, tackle, knot-tying, casting and other fishing basics.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please call
the Nancy Fisher at 850-488-6058 by Friday, August 26th.
