Should Fishing from the beach be Illegal?

If many did not know by now, Florida has recently passed a law, requiring people who want to fish from the beach, to purchase a fishing license. The license is for shoreline fishing and costs nine dollars. Some say that fishing from the shore is an "American right" and all should be able to participate without a price. As for me, I am, for the most part, for the requirement. Yes, it is an inconvenience and does cost some money. Even at a time like this, where people are already struggling, it makes it hard for people to do what they love to do. Saying this, I don't mind the requirement. It is nine dollars, which is not that much at all. Also, all the money goes back to FWC... which in turn, benefits fishermen anyways. As long as the money is coming back to the fisherman and isn't benefiting anyone else, I do not mind paying the nine dollars.
