ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED INCLUDE THE MAINTENANCE OF FISHING ACCESS FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH THE MAINTENANCE OF VDWR S 39 DAMS AND THE RESERVOIRS THEY PROVIDE THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF VDWR S FOUR WARM WATER HATCHERIES THE STOCKING OF MORE THAN 3.6M SPORT FISH (14 DIFFERENT SPECIES) INTO VIRGINIA S LAKES AND RIVERS EACH YEAR MANAGING LAKE AND RIVER HABITATS TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR SPORTFISH POPULATIONS AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO A DIVERSITY OF PARTNERS INTERESTED IN PROVIDING ANGLER ACCESS AND IMPROVING AQUATIC HABITATS. EXPECTED OUTCOMES INCLUDE HEALTHY AND ROBUST POPULATIONS OF SPORT FISH THAT CAN MEET THE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF VIRGINIA S ANGLERS. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE VIRGINIA S ANGLERS AND OTHERS THAT APPRECIATE THESE RESOURCES. THERE ARE NO SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES.

HUNTING IS A SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL, ECONOMIC, AND HISTORICAL ELEMENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA LIFESTYLE. HOWEVER, NORTH CAROLINA HAS UNDERGONE SOCIOECONOMIC CHANGES THAT IMPACT THE TRADITIONAL ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF HUNTING. AS A RESULT, TODAY S PUBLIC HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT HUNTER SAFETY AND BEHAVIOR, DEMANDING GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY BY HUNTERS. HUNTERS IN NORTH CAROLINA NEED TO BE GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ATTITUDES NECESSARY TO DEMONSTRATE SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT. THE NORTH CAROLINA HUNTER EDUCATION PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO FOSTER THIS DEVELOPMENT.

THIS INITIATIVE WILL SUPPORT THE TENNESSEE WILDLIFE RESOURCES AGENCY S INVASIVE CARP PROGRAM ENCOMPASSING THE TENNESSEE CARP HARVEST INCENTIVE PROGRAM MONITORING ACTIVITIES LIKE GILL NETTING DOZER TRAWLING ELECTROFISHING AND SURVEILLANCE AS WELL AS RESEARCH ON TRACKING THE MOVEMENTS AND REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS OF INVASIVE CARP.

THE UTAH DIVISION OF WILDLIFE RESOURCES WILL MAINTAIN ITS 13 HATCHERY FACILITIES IN A MANNER THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO PRODUCE THE EGGS AND FISH NEEDED TO MEET STATE REGIONAL REQUEST. ALL QUOTAS ARE ESTABLISHED BASED ON CONSERVATION NEEDS OR SPORTFISH STOCKING TO MEET ANGLER DEMANDS. OUR MANTUA AND EGAN HATCHERIES PRODUCE VARIOUS SPECIES OF SALMONID EGGS FOR SPORTFISH NEED AND SHIPPED TO THE OTHER HATCHERIES TO RAISE. MAMMOTH CREEK HATCHERY HOLDS BROOD CUTTHROAT TROUT TO PRODUCE EGGS FOR CONSERVATION AND SPORTFISH NEEDS. LEE KAY HATCHERY HOLDS BROOD (MUSKELLUNGE AND NORTHERN PIKE) TO PRODUCE TIGER MUSKIE. THE REST OF THE HATCHERIES RECEIVE EGGS FROM ONE OF THESE HATCHERIES TO PRODUCE FISH FOR STOCKING. EIGHT WILD TRAPS ARE OPERATED BY HATCHERY STAFF TO COLLECT EGGS FOR CONSERVATION AND SPORTFISH NEEDS THEY ARE THEN RAISED AT PRODUCTION HATCHERIES AND STOCKED. THE STATE OF UTAH DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO RAISE ALL OF THE WARM COOL WATER FISH TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ANGLERS IN THE STATE. WHICH REQUIRES THE STATE TO BUY THEM OR OBTAIN THEM FROM OTHER STATES AFTER WHICH HATCHERY PERSONNEL DELIVER AND DISTRIBUTE THEM TO VARIOUS WATERS IN THE STATE.

FISH HATCHERIES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN NORTH CAROLINA S FISHERY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. PROVIDING FOR THE CONTINUAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO PROVIDING MANY OF THE SPORT FISHING OPPORTUNITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE FISH PRODUCED AT THE N.C. WILDLIFE RESOURCES COMMISSION S (NCWRC) HATCHERIES SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUPPORT OF FRESHWATER SPORT FISHERIES IN NORTH CAROLINA. HATCHERY-SUPPORTED SPORT FISH ANGLING OPPORTUNITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE DIVERSE AND INCREASING. COLDWATER, COOLWATER AND WARMWATER FISH HATCHERIES PRODUCE AND STOCK JUVENILE FISH, TO SUPPORT RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF NATURALLY REPRODUCING STOCKS AND SUPPORT PUT-GROW-AND-TAKE FISHERIES. PRODUCTION OF CATCHABLE AND FINGERLING TROUT, MUSKELLUNGE, WALLEYE, STRIPED BASS, HYBRID STRIPED BASS, LARGEMOUTH BASS, SMALLMOUTH BASS, WHITE BASS, SUNFISH, WHITE CATFISH AND CHANNEL CATFISH SUPPORT POPULAR REGIONAL FISHERIES. THIS PROJECT PROVIDES FUNDS FOR THE OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF SIX STATE FISH HATCHERIES PROPAGATING SPORT FISH FOR RESTORATION, AUGMENTATION AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. WITH CONTINUED POPULATION GROWTH AND INCREASED DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH CAROLINA, IT IS LIKELY THE DEMANDS PLACED ON FISH HATCHERIES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE. THE SUCCESS OF PROGRAMS SUCH AS HATCHERY SUPPORTED AND DELAYED HARVEST TROUT WATERS AND THE COMMUNITY FISHING PROGRAM REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL DEDICATION OF HATCHERY PRODUCTION RESOURCES.
