Sustainable Fishing

Recreational fishing pressure on our public waters is increasing and is having an impact on fish populations. Fishing is a multi-million dollar activity and proper fishing techniques will help preserve fish populations and help keep this valuable economic activity viable throughout the state. Join Dr. Mark Hostetler as he explores several sustainable fishing issues: proper catch and release techniques; regulations for keeping fish; proper disposal of fishing line; the use of fish-friendly hooks; underwater cleanup efforts; marine protected areas; and even the dangers of feeding fish carcasses to birds.
