Aquatic Species Collection Workshop (ASCW)

Florida Marine Science Educators Association (FMSEA) and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) have developed and implemented an aquatic species collection workshop for Florida Educators. Upon successful completion of the workshop, educators receive a 3-year collection certificate form the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The workshop is available to certified Florida teachers and/or employees of educational centers. Certificate holders are eligible to collect specified aquatic species for educational purposes that would be restricted under fishing license guidelines. During the training workshop, participants will discuss collecting alternatives, benefits, collection and transport techniques, methods to minimize environmental impact, restrictions imposed by the Collecting Certificate, available resources, and related activities.
