One of the reasons people visit Florida is for a day on the water and enjoy the vast natural resources the state offers. A peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, Florida offers 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline. If that’s not enough, the inland areas offer 7,750 lakes and 10,500 miles of rivers and streams. That’s great water for fishing and boating. Florida offers a great diversity of saltwater fishes and an equally impressive amount of freshwater fish. With Florida’s temperate year-round climate, there’s not a day from January to December when the season is closed. Once you’re done on the water, Florida also provides an endless amount of activities until the next time you drop a hook in the water. The Florida Sports Foundation’ s annual Florida Fishing and Boating Guide is the perfect planning guide to make your trip in Florida a memorable experience. You’ll head back home talking about how you reeled in the big one rather than the one that got away. Enjoy your stay in Florida, the “Fishing Capital of the World,” and we look forward to your return trip to the Sunshine State and its abundance of fishing and boating opportunities. Sincerely, John Webb President Florida Sports Foundation RICK SCOTT GOVERNOR WELCOME June 1, 2014 Dear Outdoor Enthusiast: On behalf of the State of Florida and Florida Sports, a division of Enterprise Florida, Inc., and the state’s lead organization in promoting and developing Florida’s sports industry, I am pleased to provide Florida Fishing & Boating, a valuable resource complete with useful information on the state’s most popular visitor and recreational activities — fishing and boating. This annual guide gives visitors and residents alike, practical tips on saltwater and freshwater fishing, information on license requirments, and a listing of guides and charters in the state. Florida has earned the title of Fishing Capital of the World, as the Sunshine State offers more than 7,700 lakes, 10,550 miles of rivers and streams, and 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline — all waiting to be explored. In addition to our abundance of waterways for fishing and boating, Florida offers an unmatched variety of attractions, unique historic and cultural corridors, and outstanding restaurants filled with Florida-style favorites. Outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy our award-winning state park systems and miles of wilderness hiking and biking trails. Our state parks are the nation’s only three-time winner of the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence. This award shows that the Sunshine State is working hard to ensure Florida families and tourists are able to enjoy our national treasures. Florida’s natural resources are vast, yet vulnerable. Please help perserve those areas by leaving them in the same condition as when you arrived, which will ensure that they can be enjoyed for many years to come. Welcome to Florida! We are glad you are here!

This statute requires that either a Water Management District (WMD) or the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) establish minimum flows for surface watercourses and minimum levels for groundwaters and surface waters. The statutory description of a minimum flow is “the limit at which further withdrawals would be significantly harmful to the water resources or ecology of the area” (Ch. 373.042 (1)(a), F.S.). The statute provides additional guidance to the WMDs and DEP on how to establish MFLs, including how they may be calculated, using the “best information available,” to reflect “seasonal variations,” when appropriate. Protection of non-consumptive uses also are to be considered as part of the process, but the decision on whether to provide for protection of non-consumptive uses is to be made by the Governing Board of the WMD or the DEP (Ch.

Approximately 242 sensitive plant taxa occur in the 21 counties west of the Suwannee River. These include 15 taxa listed as endangered or threatened by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 212 listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Florida, 191 tracked by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory, 52 candidates for federal listing, and 7 categorized by the state as commercially exploited. Since the conservation of threatened and endangered plant species depends largely on effective management of protected populations, the occurrence of such plants on publicly or privately owned conservation lands, coupled with institutional knowledge of their location and extent is essential.

It has long been known that Fort Brooke had two cemeteries, but only one of them was ever found and excavated in the 1980s. Recent excavations across downtown Tampa have focused on the hunt for the second lost cemetery, among many other components of the fort. While testing the model designed to locate the cemetery, a sealed jar was discovered, crammed full of letters written in 1916. The letters were mailed to someone aboard C. B. Moore’s steamer Gopher, while the ship completed it’s 1916 expedition on the Mississippi River. What were they doing buried in a parking lot in Tampa? Eric is a transplant from the northeast who has only lived in Tampa since 2012, when he came to graduate school at USF. Since then he has worked in CRM and has recently served as Principal Investigator for major excavations in Downtown Tampa and for the Zion Cemetery Project, Robles Park Village. The monthly CGCAS Archaeology Lecture series is sponsored by the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education (AWIARE) and held at the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center in St Petersburg.
