Since Captains For Clean Water was founded in 2016, fishing guides across the state of Florida have been instrumental advocates in the fight for clean water. By uniting into a collective voice, we’ve won some major battles together over the years, but this fight is far from over. Everglades Restoration still faces constant threats from special interests, so we’re calling on guides like you to join our Captains Alliance and strengthen our army of clean-water advocates.
The mission of the Captains Alliance is to engage and educate guides about the issues our waters face while introducing ways to become an active voice in the fight for clean water. We’ve found that a lack of public awareness about our water issues in one of the biggest hurdles to overcoming them, and we need your help to get more people involved so we can continue moving the needle.
As a Captains Alliance member, we’ll ensure you have the resources you need to educate interested clients and fellow guides on the challenges facing Everglades restoration, what’s at stake, and the solutions we’re advocating for.
To be eligible for participation, you must possess a USCG captain’s license and a FWC charter license.
By signing onto the team, not only are you joining a community that’s passionate about saving our waters, you’re also supporting our mission to restore and protect Florida’s aquatic resources for the enjoyment of all. Because of you, progress is happening!
“As fishing guides, we have a unique perspective to share and a perfect platform to share it from. We’re able to reach more people who care about our waters, expose them to the beauty of the resource, and empower them to become advocates.”
“Guides are like canaries in the coal mine. It’s our responsibility to speak up for our waters.”
