[Proposed Angling Levy Increase]

Folks,

 

It pays to take a second or 2 and look over how ACA deals out the money. Of the $ 469,000 paid out in the Large Grant Fund just $80,800 went to fisheries stuff and most of that to habitat examination.

That is just 17% OF THE TOTAL.

And then we have:

ACA’s Grants in Biodiversity Program is run in collaboration with the Alberta Co-operative Conservation Unit, which represents a consortium of Alberta universities including: University of Alberta, University of Calgary and the University of Lethbridge. ACA’s annual financial contribution to the fund is $225,000.

 

And it goes on and on.

 

 

About time that outfit figures out who pays the bills.

Hunters and fishermen are getting screwed.

So it's a bad idea to give (invest, actually) money to universities to support the education & training of the province's future fish managers? ULeth trains all the enforcement officers and half of the environmental monitors, UofA is doing most of the research into examining Albertan grayling abundance & distribution and has run or partnered with all of the research done in the foothills re: stream crossings and impacts to Athabasca rainbows & bulls and all the associated management implications and policy documents that guide resource development today, UofC is the top pathogens and aquaculture lab east of BC.

 

Your comments never cease to amaze Don. Truly, ignorance must be bliss.

B, they want to go to $56 for non-res, that's pretty good! Should have gone to 30 or 35 for resi's, but this is better than a stick in the eye! I'm with you on enforcement but still believe the ACA's main focus should always be habitat & native fish 1st, introduced wild and stocked 2nd and 3rd respectively! Enforcement is SRD, so if the ACA can pick up more research slack from SRD, they can reshuffle gas money to the enforcement trucks in all probability. Have always said and still maintain that Alberta has one of the best research & management systems in the country. BC is a joke in comparison!

Excellent post dave.

 

Bottom line is that there are many thriving, viable brown trout fisheries across the continent doing well...

And those fisheries are...?
