TALLAHASSEE, Fla. June 11, 2021.- The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is pleased to announce that the new Conserve Florida’s Fisheries specialty license plate has been delivered to tax collector offices and license plate agencies statewide. Floridians who purchased presale vouchers for the specialty plate are now able to redeem them at their local tax collector office or license plate agency, and those who wish to purchase the new specialty plate may do so at their local office.
New specialty license plates were authorized during the 2020 Legislative Session, and the presale process began in October 2020. Coastal Conservation Association Florida was the first organization to have their newly authorized specialty plate meet all design, development, manufacturing, and presale requirements established to begin the distribution process.
The revenue collected annually from the sale of the Conserve Florida’s Fisheries specialty license plate will be distributed to Coastal Conservation Association Florida to support their mission and efforts for habitat enhancement and restoration, saltwater fisheries conservation, and education; to advise the public on the conservation of marine resources; and to promote and enhance the present and future availability of those coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public.
Floridians interested in purchasing one of the many specialty license plates offered in Florida are encouraged to visit their local tax collector or license plate agency. A complete list of Florida’s specialty license plates can be found on the department’s website.
