| Impact Report | 1) Questions asked at the conclusion of Watershed Stewardship Talk to which the attendees did not know the answer before the talk were easily answered by all. Many took away the message that we all live in a watershed, and that land use practices affect aquatic ecosystems. Many expressed interest in learning more about their watershed and the topic of watershed stewardship . County agent expressed interest in offering the talk again this coming year. 2 )Woods Houghton (Agent from Eddy County) reviewed my circular entitled “Toxic Algae, Prymnesium parvum” and referred to it as “excellent” and commented that he “received lots of questions on this subject”. 3) Received positive feedback from several NM residents to whom I gave advice and information on the subject of aquaculture in NM. I saved one resident time and energy in his efforts to start up a Tilapia hatchery by informing him about NMGF regulations regarding Tilapia production in NM and by offering suggestions in his efforts to obtain a permit. The resident is now applying to the NMGF department for a permit to grow Tilapia. |
