Expert Tips

Be cautious when launching your boat or approaching shores — avoid disturbing sensitive vegetation or wildlife habitats.
✓ Protect the Water
Do not let fishing gear or trash fall from your boat. Use trash receptacles and recycle whenever possible.
✓ Sun Safety & Gear
Wear a hat, ocean-safe sunscreen, and sun-protective clothing. Stick to formulas free of oxybenzone and octinoxate to protect marine life. Bring water and a phone, and consider waterproof phone cases.

Ensure you have your fishing license before heading out on the water.
