 Reservoir Fisheries: Angling for New Opportunities — to be held 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., March 16, 2009, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia — will address the significant, often vital roles served by reservoirs and will review reservoir benefits, problems and possibilities, both locally and nationally. Reservoir health issues will be examined, from infrastructure to climate change. New sources of management funding and new collaborative partnerships will be discussed. The workshop will specifically call for a national reservoir fisheries partnership through the National Fish Habitat Initiative and seek to renew the Environmental Protection Agency’s Section 314, Clean Lakes Program.
