Use of Funds

These activities are intended to increase participation in recreational boating and fishing. For example, program funds have been used to develop a national database of fishing and boating locations that is available on the internet. Current focuses of the program are angler and boater R3 efforts (recruit, retain and reactivate) and development of pilot R3 projects with state fish and wildlife agencies. If work is to be conducted outside of those identified in the original plan, the activity must show a clear relevance to the Strategic Plan.
