How We Fish Florida" is a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to preserving and conserving Florida's marine ecosystem. Our mission is to promote sustainable fishing practices and protect both freshwater and saltwater habitats while educating the public about the importance of conservation.
We are actively involved in efforts to eliminate invasive species like Lionfish and support the protection of the Florida Manatee population and coral reefs affected by bleaching. Our founder, Jim Reyes, has developed the first AI Marine Buoy system, utilizing Tesla solar panels and the Starlink satellite system to provide real-time data on Florida's coastal waters. Jim's passion for innovation began in childhood when he would take things apart to understand how they worked.
"How We Fish Florida" organizes fishing tournaments, educational events, and beach cleanups to engage the community in our conservation efforts. We aim to create a sustainable fishing industry that benefits both the environment and local communities. By promoting responsible fishing practices and protecting marine ecosystems, we strive to ensure a thriving fishing industry for future generations.
We are also working tirelessly to improve manatee rescue missions and prevent further threats to their population. Our goal is to change the narrative surrounding manatees by raising awareness and educating the public on solutions to their plight. In recent years, more manatees have died due to a human-caused seagrass famine, with at least 800 manatee deaths statewide in 2022 due to starvation and malnutrition. This crisis is largely attributed to pollution-fueled seagrass loss in the 156-mile Indian River Lagoon, one of North America's most biodiverse estuaries.
Through our collective efforts, "How We Fish Florida" is committed to making a positive impact on the marine environment and ensuring the well-being of its inhabitants.
How We Fish Florida brings together a highly skilled and experienced team, consisting of seasoned Marine biologists, Florida Fishing Captains, a dedicated Production team, talented Engineers, and some of the finest marine cinema photographers. Our collective mission is twofold: to educate and to contribute to the preservation of pristine waterways.
