In September, several ASA staff members, along with staff from the FishAmerica and Future Fisherman Foundations, attended the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ annual meeting (AFWA). Hosted by the Colorado Division of Wildlife, this year’s meeting was the largest in AFWA’s (formerly International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies) history with over 700 registered attendees. Attendees heard from the nation’s fish and wildlife conservation leaders, partners and management experts on issues related to agriculture conservation, oceans policy, science and research, Multi-state Conservation Grants and threatened and endangered species, fisheries and wildlife management and other topics. The meeting also includes a forum for AFWA’s committee meetings which helps direct federal and state agency policy.
