Yes, a fishing license is required in Marco Island, Florida, for both residents and non-residents above the age of 16, with certain exceptions for seniors and military personnel. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission provides these licenses, and they cover both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
