A heritage of fishing: The National Park Service recreational fisheries program
Fox L (ed). 1990. A heritage of fishing: The National Park Service recreational fisheries program. National Park Service. Washington, DC
Recreational fishing has been a part of the Park System since its inception, with an emphasis on fishing in natural habitats. The Recreational Fisheries Program describes many of the recreational opportunities involving fishery resources currently available in park units as well as outlining future actions to improve and enhance the Service's fishery resources. Recreational fishing occurs in 143 units of the National Park System. The Recreational Fisheries Program will provide for continuation and improvement of Service fisheries management and research activities, serving needs in each of those units. The approach to managing Park Service fisheries varies from park to park. The NPS manages all park resources with an emphasis on fundamental ecological processes as well as for individual species, communities, and natural areas. (Goals & objectives of NPS Fishery program.)
