Shoreline license free

The shoreline fishing license for Florida residents to catch saltwater fish from shore or a structure affixed is now free.

The fee formerly was $9. The Florida Legislature repealed the shoreline license fee last year. However, legislators retained the license requirement to prevent a more-costly federal registration fee from taking effect in Florida.

Resident anglers who obtain the shoreline license over the phone or Internet must pay a convenience fee to the vendor. The convenience fee is $2.31 for Internet sales at www.fl.wildlifelicense.com or $3.33 for phone sales at 888-FISH FLORIDA (888-347-4356).

Only Florida residents qualify for a no-cost shoreline license, and the license does not cover fishing from a boat or from land or a structure accessible only by boat. That requires a regular saltwater fishing license: $17 for residents; for nonresidents the cost is $17 for three days, $30 for seven days or $47 per year. There are some exemptions for license requirements. More information is available at MyFWC.com/License.
