Preserving the Right to Fish and Hunt: What’s on the ballot this November?

Preserving the Right to Fish and Hunt: What’s on the ballot this November?

By Kimberly Smith   August 28, 2024

A proposed amendment to the Florida State Constitution seeks to eternally preserve fishing and hunting as public rights and preferred methods for responsibly managing Florida’s rich fish and wildlife resources. This includes traditional practices and ensures that the amendment does not restrict the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s authority as outlined in Section 9 of Article IV of the State Constitution. 

Why This Matters to HMY Yacht Sales Customers?  

Protecting Your Outdoor Passions 

Amendment 2 is crucial for safeguarding the rights that allow you to fully enjoy Florida’s premier outdoor lifestyle.

This amendment ensures that these freedoms remain protected against restrictive bans, allowing you to continue pursuing your passions without unwarranted interference. 

Preserve Florida’s Rich Traditions and Natural Beauty 

Florida’s reputation as the “Fishing Capital of the World” attracts anglers chasing big game pelagics to snapper for the dinner table and everything in between, while hunters seek out a variety of species native to Florida.

By supporting this amendment, you help ensure that the natural environments you cherish for your boating and fishing adventures remain intact for future generations.
