The Outdoors Beyond Barriers (OBB) initiative emphasizes removing obstacles for people with mobility impairments to help them connect with nature, explore the outdoors, and take part in activities like hunting and fishing that may have previously been unavailable.

Looking to fish on the coast? Check out accessible saltwater fishing opportunities.

Outdoors Beyond Barriers is open to all anglers who would qualify for a disability fishing license. You may apply for disability licenses at GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com. Anglers who qualify, but choose to use a regular license, simply have to show that they meet the qualifications.
