Quote:Avid hunters and fisherman fully support conservation.  Money spent on hunting and fishing licenses goes towards wildlife conservation.  It's not uncommon for outdoor sportsman to purchase license and permits beyond what they'll need simply to help fund wildlife conservation.

What are my fees used for?
<p style="color:rgb(5,25,48);font-family:Verdana;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(234,227,211);">Except for the fees charged by the tax collector ($1.00) or agent ($0.50), and processing surcharges listed above, all of the money spent on fishing and licenses goes to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to provide optimum sustained use of Florida's fish and wildlife resources. In addition, each license holder that buys a license, helps the FWC to recover excise taxes from the Federal government, which you spend on items such as fishing tackle, boats, and for motor boat fuel taxes, through the Federal Aid in Sportfish Restoration program
