Lycoming Clean Water Institute and The Susquehanna Chapter, TU are working with the PA Fish and Boat Commission to hold a public information and outreach forum Wednesday.
The forum will be on the proposed rulemaking announced by the PFBC on the issue of preventing undesirable aquatic organisms and diseased and undesirable fish into waters of the Commonwealth from activities including fishing, boating, private hatchery operations, fish stocking practices, and use of certain live baits. The proposal appeared in the PA Bulletin on June 18.
The PFBC is receiving formal comment until Sept. 17 -- it was just announced they will keep period open until Oct. 15 -- but will be conducting public meetings and outreach on the proposal after that date in order to inform the public on its goals and need for the regulation, as well as looking for ideas and recommendations on how to improve the proposal and make the program work most effectively for all parties involved.
Speakers at the meeting will include Robert Caccese, David Nihart, and Coja Yamashita of the PFBC.
