Help Florida
Have More Fish

Because Florida should have more fish.

Florida fishing has changed. The regulations haven’t. Fishing pressure has exploded since the 1990s, but many regulations have not kept up. We’re pushing for smarter updates that rebuild fish populations, strengthen spawning classes, and protect Florida’s fishing future.

Florida’s waters support millions of anglers and coastal communities. Updating outdated regulations and improving water quality can help rebuild stronger fish populations and ensure future generations have the same fishing opportunities we grew up with.

More Fish, More Fun!
Update the Regs.
Restore the Balance!

Florida fishing pressure has changed — but many regulations are still built for a Florida from 25 years ago. We’re gathering signatures to push for updated, science-based regulations that rebuild redfish, snook, and trout populations across Southwest Florida.

Tired of going fishing and not having much luck…?

New, proactive fisheries management can help change that. It only makes sense to adjust fisheries management to deal with the new challenges that inshore fisheries face today — more fishing pressure, changing habitat, and water quality issues. If we improve water and modernize the regulations, we can rebuild stronger redfish, snook, and trout populations over time.

This movement is for everyone who loves Florida — boaters, anglers, beach families, surfers, and anyone who wants healthy water and thriving fish populations.

Florida Fish Forward
Help Decide Florida's Future

Our Mission

More fish for Charlotte and Lee Counties. .

Bring Back the Florida Fishing We Remember

Over the past three decades, the overall population of snook and redfish has fallen dramatically. We can reverse this decline by implementing logical, proactive inshore Fisheries management. The longer we wait to do what only makes sense the longer it will take for our fishery to recover .

If we don’t change course: weaker fish stocks, less habitat, bad water days, and a future where great Florida fishing becomes a story we only tell.

Who This Is For

Boaters & Anglers More fish. Better days. Stronger future.
Families & Beach Lovers Cleaner water supports better beaches.
Local Business Fishing & water quality drive tourism and the local economy.

Why This Matters

If fish populations drop, everything follows.

📉

Fewer Fish

Without updates, fishing pressure + habitat stress can keep stocks down. You feel it first in the catch rate.

🧬

Weak Reproduction

Breeding fish are the engine. Protecting bigger spawners and nursery habitat means more juvenile fish survive.

🏖️

Bad Water = Bad Beaches

Bad water hurts beaches, seagrass, and the entire coastal ecosystem. Cleaner water means healthier habitat — and more fish over time.

Petition Summary

We are petitioning the FWC to make the necessary changes needed to help our struggling inshore fisheries deal with the unprecedented level of challenges they are facing today.

The goal here is simple:

  • Update regulations
  • Provide more opportunity for healthier spawning populations
  • Responsible catch & release education

Redfish, snook, and trout are under increasing pressure from habitat loss, water quality issues, and fishing pressure. With enough voices, we can modernize management and rebuild Florida’s inshore fisheries for the next generation.
