Florida Bass Conservation Center

About

Layout of the Florida Bass Conservation Center.

On February 23, 2007, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) dedicated the new Florida Bass Conservation Center (FBCC).  Its overall mission is "To conduct and utilize essential research to optimize production, stocking and recruitment of Florida black basses, and to facilitate integrated conservation management of Florida's freshwater fisheries resources."  In 2009, it was awarded the Outstanding Sport Fish Restoration Project of the Year, for infrastructure enhancements by the American Fisheries Society.

The Florida Bass Conservation Center address is 3583 CR 788, Webster, FL 33597.
