The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encourages anglers to take part in Saltwater Angler Recognition programs to Catch a Florida Memory.

It recognizes anglers for their fishing skills and encourages them to target multiple species, thus decreasing fishing pressure on the most commonly sought-after species.

Anglers do not have to harvest their fish to be eligible, so remember to catch and release. Submit entries for any of the programs below and be recognized when you Catch a Florida Memory!

• Saltwater Grand Slams
• Saltwater Fish Life List
• Saltwater Reel Big Fish

 

• Ecotour Education & Tips (Learn)
• Meet Other Florida Ecotour Providers (Network)
• We want to hear from you! How can we improve FLSEE to better serve you? (Engage)

The Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is one of the most abundant and widely recognized species in the world, and they are the only butterfly known to make a two-way migration. Like birds, their movement is driven by seasonal changes, so day length and temperature changes influence their trip.

Each fall, monarchs from the eastern U.S. and southern Canada undertake a much longer journey, up to 3,000 miles, to wintering grounds in the mountains of central Mexico.
  Peak migration viewing time for the butterflies in Florida is from early to mid-October. Click here to see when their migration will peak in your area, and help scientists studying the monarchs by reporting sightings of tagged butterflies.
