Maine NFC SPOTLIGHTED ON fox 22

The Maine chapter of Native Fish Coalition was tapped by Fox 22 out of Bangor, Maine, regarding a piece they did on the restoration of Arctic charr at Big Reed Pond in northern Maine.

Triggered by a recent award given to Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife by the American Fisheries Society, Maine NFC was contacted by the TV station for permission to use some video footage they found online.

NFC also shared a photograph of Maine Chair Emily Bastian holding an Arctic charr which was used in the story.  National Vice Chair and Maine chapter member Bob Mallard was interviewed briefly as well. 

“NOBODY’S SEEING ARCTIC CHARR, AND IF YOU’RE NOT ANGLING FOR THEM YOUR’E NOT SEEING THEM. IT’S HARD TO RALLY PEOPLE IN SUPPORT OF PROTECTING SOMETHING THEY CAN’T SEE. NFC NATIONAL VICE CHAIR BOB MALLARD”
