There are millions of acres of lakes, rivers and canals and over 1.2 million registered fresh water anglers in the state! FWC biologists work hard to study, protect, and conserve Florida's fresh water resources.

GIS and Mapping
Center for Spatial Analysis staff members use mapping techniques to create information products used by policy makers, scientists, and managers.

Red Tide
A red tide is a higher-than-normal concentration of a microscopic alga (plant-like organism). In Florida, the species that causes most red tides is Karenia brevis (K. brevis).

Saltwater
Florida’s marine fisheries provide over 2.5 million recreational anglers with sport fishing opportunities and over 15,000 commercial fishers with employment. The public expects FWRI to protect and enhance these resources for future generations.
