Boating and Angling Guide Survey

Boaters and anglers have used the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) popular Boating and Angling Guides series since 1992. Throughout the years of production, the guides have been updated to meet the needs of Florida’s boating and angling communities. As a result of information obtained from previous surveys, we have added useful information, such as bridge heights and anchorages, and even produced guides written in both Spanish and English for Biscayne Bay. The FWC is conducting this latest survey to determine which additional features and improvements boaters and anglers would like in the guides.

Questions marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
