My experience collecting in FL salt waters is that as long as you have a
valid license, that's pretty much enough if you're not a commercial
collector. If you were going for an official Scientific Permit that's a
cumbersome process in FL. But for home collecting the license if fine, from
my conversation with one of their officers 2 years ago.
