The aim is to develop a working document outlining problems with southeastern
fishes and, more importantly, what can be done to prevent the loss of these
species and their habitats. This was a follow-up meeting to one that was held
around a year and a half ago.
One aspect of the meeting was to develop other "Partenrs" in this endeavor
and hopefully, to have these participate in future meetings. More than once I
heard NANFA's name come up (not even by me! though I brought it up as well!)
I think NANFA is slowly clawing it's way into the picture of fish
conservation, mostly by being a responsible organization and involving such a
wide diversity of players. Be paitient, we'll get there.
Maybe, over the next month or so, a representative of NANFA will be asked to
participate in future workshops. Anyway, I'll keep you posted if anything
comes up.
Keep up the good work!
