VALUABLE INFORMATION
Parents and kids participate in multiple stations to learn about conservation of Indian River Lagoon fisheries and ecosystems, casting and fishing safety, knot tying and tackle box essentials, catch and release tactics, essential fish habitats, and much more!
INCREASES ACCESS TO FISHING
