-1979
RESOLUTION OPPOSING IMPLEMENTATION OF A
SALT HATER FISHING LICENSE
WHEREAS, because of the adverse conditions that could
be created by the implementation of a Salt Water Fishing License,
we strongly oppose the enactment of any law or regulation imposing
licensing, and
WHEREAS, the State of Florida depends heavily on the taxes
derived from tourism, any law or regulation imposed upon the sport
fishing industry would greatly affect both tourism and sport
fishing, and
WHEREAS, the future of tourism in the State of Florida is
uppermost in our minds, the harm that could be felt by licensing
tourist and residents would be catastrophic, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows:
1. That said Board hereby opposes the creation of any
tax or licensing of salt water fishing.
2. That the Clerk shall forward a certified copy of this
resolution to the Monroe County Legislative Delegation, the
Governor of the State of Florida, and the Department of Natural
Resources.
