South Texas Angler Education and Outreach Project- Family Fish Camps

David & Marianne Book have been volunteers, supporters & contributors on many levels for Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. His children's books are a popular item at the Nature Store, and his history book on the Refuge was a particularly challenging puzzle to pull together. I look forward to his blog for bits and pieces to be brought to life among other topics regarding the habitat and conservation efforts of Laguna Atascosa.

South Texas Angler Education and Outreach Project- Family Fish Camps

Fri, January 01, 2021 3:18 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Through a partnership with the USFWS, Fishing’s Future, Brownsville ISD, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Brownsville Coastal Fisheries office, with funding from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Community Outdoor Outreach Program, Friends is hosting a free fishing education program at Bahia Grande. This program involves hosting free family fish camps for 400+ participants and students from Brownsville ISD, and an angler education certification program for ten Brownsville ISD teachers. During the family fish camps, participants learn about fishing etiquette, fishing gear, fish habitat and coastal ecology, and state rules and regulations. The event also includes catch and release fishing at the Bahia Grande. Due to the pandemic, the program is now offered in a virtual format.
