People looking to cast their nets a little wider and expand their fishing business on the Space Coast can get some help this week.
Florida Sea Grant and the University of Florida Brevard County Extension office are hosting the first ever "For-Hire" fishing workshop Friday to give new ideas and proven advice to help grow a fishing business.
Regulations and a downturn in the economy have hurt several local anglers trying to make a living on the coast.
At the workshop, anglers can talk with experts, learn how to get involved in fisheries research and improve their business plans.
It costs $25 to attend. Click here to register online.
