Program areas at Florida Fishing Academy
Angling for a Healthy future is an environmental awareness Initiative that teaches elementary, middle and high school students to enjoy Florida's fragile marine resources in a way that preserves the ecosystem for generations. The program arms kids with the tools and knowledge to resist the temptations of the streets and gain a richer appreciation for our local waters.
Mobile Marine Lab is a hands-on educational program that allows students to explore a working model of Florida's watershed, the effects of pollution and beach erosion, and how it relates to the marine-life food chain. The interactive Mobile Lab promotes advocacy across all demographics, especially at our schools in Palm beach and Martin counties.
Charting a course in the Marine Industries provides advanced high school students with extensive vocational fishing education and post-secondary preparation and support designed to prepare them for the workforce or college. These students learn how to mentor younger students, teach our program, and work with our community partners through our on-the-job training component.
