A public forum to discuss freshwater fisheries culture research, management and recreational angling in New Jersey will be held on Saturday, December 1 at the Hackettstown State Fish Hatchery in Warren County. The forum will begin at 9:30 a.m.
The DEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife is conducting these meetings to improve communication with the angling public and to solicit public input in shaping freshwater fisheries programs in the future. The forums are a perfect opportunity for all freshwater anglers to learn about existing programs, and to share their views and recommendations.
There will be updates on 2007 Field Surveys and the Wild Brook Trout Genetics Study. Most of the time will be devoted to open discussion on current and future programs.
Professional staff from the Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries will be on hand to answer questions and provide updates on current research, culture and management programs.
Pre-registration is not required but is appreciated, and will help ensure that all attendees can be accommodated. Individuals can pre-register by calling 908-236-2118 or by sending an e-mail to njfwfish@earthlink.net. Be sure to include name, address, phone number and the number of people attending.
