What happened
A portion of the fishing license fee in Colorado supports the state's search and rescue (SAR) system. The Colorado Outdoor Recreation Search and Rescue (CORSAR) Card is also available for purchase to contribute. Carrying a license when rescued allows the responding team to be reimbursed immediately.

Why it matters
The state's SAR system is largely volunteer-based and handles over 3,000 incidents annually. The funding mechanism relies on fees from various outdoor recreation licenses, including fishing, hunting, boat, and snowmobile licenses.
