Taking the Native Fish Message Beyond Anglers

Larry and Emily Bastian at Patagonia in Freeport, Maine.

As part of our ongoing efforts to bring the name fish conservation message mainstream, and beyond anglers, NFC recently tabled at the Patagonia Outlet store in Freeport, Maine. NFC has tabled at Patagonia stores and attended Patagonia sponsored events in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well.

While at the store, NFC was able to talk native fish conservation with folks from outside the angling community that we might otherwise never get in front of. This is critical, as until we get non-anglers on board with regard to native fish conservation, it will be an uphill battle.

Special thanks to NFC National Chair Emily Bastian and Maine NFC Board member Larry Bastian for taking time out of their schedules to support this effort.

And thanks to Patagonia for their ongoing support of native fish and NFC.
