After 10 years pestering the bio for the river, we began process on the revisitation of the 20 year old Fisheries Management Plan for the Red Deer River. It's an issue close to me personally as I love process and find it to be a fascinating, yet somewhat underfined river. I've been trying for years to get the RDR FMP revisited but there was resistence due to a few factors, and after getting a few others on side we got this this advisory group going - a WELCOME process. Thanks to the gov for stepping up!
While I am personally in New Zealand as yet, I'll be back to be a part of process late Feb and am really looking forward to the discussion when we return.
To date, discussion has occurred within the committee and the public involvement process at this early stage of the review is through 2 mtgs in January.
One will be in Trochu and the other in Red Deer.
It will be great to hear feedback at this stage of things, which, at present, essentially looks at the issues affecting the watershed.
Hope you can make the mtgs.
Cheers,
Dave Jensen
