Project ManagersReport
Danny gave a brief talk on the DFO  meeting that dealt with Salmon stocks or lack of, in the Bay of Fundy Rivers.
DFO  reps. apparently were not very interested in habitat or whether or not their were existing stocks in some of these rivers, but more interested in putting together a new plan to introduce a new genetic strain of fish to some of these systems without a proper assessment being done in these areas.
Danny also said he sent a proposal to Adopt-A-Stream for money this year.
Also sent for funding for students for this year.
