Lower Keys Guides Association

Based in the Florida Keys, LKGA unites local fishing guides, anglers, and conservationists to protect the region’s unique fisheries and cultural heritage through advocacy, scientific collaboration and community programs. Their initiatives include the annual “March Merkin” permit tournament, marine-debris clean-ups and a Guide Rapid Response Network for ecological monitoring, underscoring their role as both stewards of the fishery and pillars of the Keys’ outdoor-industry community.
