Maybe
the biggest contribution we've made to
outreach is a two page article on "Weird Fish Of Oklahoma", which is
currently
featured in the Oklahoma 2012 fishing regulations (thanks again to Nate
Tessler
for photos). Also, we've contributed material to the Oklahoma
Department
of Wildlife's website on stream fish. I am working to get
NANFA’s
contribution to the website recognized with our name or logo.
Also, we conducted two
video presentations on
native fish at Oklahoma State University (with three NANFA members in
attendance) and provided tissue samples from a disjunct Southern
Redbelly Dace
population for a grad student's PhD project on dace genetics.
We've also continued
developing our Oklahoma
native fish outreach poster (thanks again Todd Crail for the idea and
graphics)
and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife has agreed to print an
additional 1,000
copies (NANFA's contribution is clearly recognized on the poster).
In
addition we've begun work on a native fish display for the upcoming
Oklahoma
Wildlife EXPO. |
