World Water Day

World Water Day - 22 March

World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.
Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater. In 2013, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation, World Water Day is also dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water and is coordinated by UNESCO in collaboration with UNECE and UNDESA on behalf of UN-Water.

Tarpon Fishing

FWC Public Workshops:

Potential Rule Changes for the Tarpon and Bonefish Fisheries

Share your input on these important issues by participating in a workshop!

TOPIC: The purpose of these workshops is to gather public input on potential changes in the tarpon and bonefish rules to make them catch-and-release only fisheries throughout Florida’s state and federal waters. 

Possible changes include:

·  Eliminating the tarpon bag limit and allowing the harvest and possession of a single tarpon in conjunction with a tarpon tag only when in pursuit of an IGFA record

·  Modifying the tarpon tag program, including reporting requirements and calendar year, and

·  Discontinuing the bonefish tournament exemption permit that allows tournament anglers to temporarily possess bonefish for transport to a tournament scale. 

TIME: 6-8 p.m. EDT

WHEN and WHERE:

·        April 1: St. Petersburg at Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, 100 Eighth Ave. S.E.
