Description: Florida is known as the "Fishing Capital of the World." archeological digs throughout Florida proved Native Americans depended upon a wide range of seafood from the rivers, bays and ocean. Spains's first immigrants to St. Augustine were skilled in catching fish and these skills passed down from generation to generation. Fishing families from many other countries eventually settled along both Florida coasts to harvest the bountiful, sustainable rsources.
