Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary adds Blue Star Fishing Guides

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary added Florida Keys Flats Fishing of Key Largo, Keys Boat Tours of Sunshine Key, and Folklure Charters of Key West as the newest participants in the Blue Star Fishing Guide program.

The education and conservation program, launched in 2018, recognizes charter boat captains who are committed to sustainable fishing and educating their customers about resource protection in the sanctuary. The voluntary Blue Star Fishing Guide program provides online training for captains and crew members that covers general education about the national marine sanctuary, its diverse habitats, and fisheries.
