Boaters, remember to give yourself enough time to renew your watercraft registration if it has expired.
As a result of COVID-19 and an increase in requests, the DNR License Center has been working on processing a backlog of mail-in boat registration renewals.
To help customers avoid long wait times for processing, the DNR is encouraging boaters to renew boat registrations online or at a local deputy registrar’s office, rather than by mail. If you renew online, you can print out the confirmation page as your temporary permit. You also may write down your temporary authorization number from the confirmation page.

Ocala Outdoor Adventure Camp
Kristi Johnson treasures the memories of her first summers as a preteen attending the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Ocala Outdoor Adventure Camp.

There she formed lifelong friendships with other like-minded young people and developed leadership and communications skills that serve her well today as the assistant director at the Univers
Aric Fishman has been a rock climber since he was a teenager. When he moved to Thunder Bay 14 years ago to attend Lakehead University, he embraced ice climbing as a natural progression of his passion for climbing.
“The opportunities here are incredible,” says Fishman, who is the president of the Nipigon Ice Fest, an annual event celebrating ice climbing in the region. (The event is being held virtually this year.) “There’s a lot of ice, and good quality ice.”
This season has been a somewhat “thin year” for ice, he says, “but we’re very spoiled by how much ice we have in general. The region is loaded with ice climbs. Even the thinnest year in a decade, there’s still plenty.”
