RFRI UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING OUTSIDE, BEING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE, EMBRACING TEAMWORK AND CONNECTING WITH NATURE AND EACH OTHER. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS BY INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO RECREATIONAL BOATING, FISHING, & OUTDOORS ACTIVITIES. THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO ENGAGE EVERYONE TO BE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE WHILE EMBRACING TEAMWORK AND CONNECTING WITH NATURE. LIKE ALL ANIMALS, FISH NEED A HEALTHY HABITAT TO SURVIVE, GROW, AND REPRODUCE. THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF FISH HABITAT IN A WATER BODY DIRECTLY AFFECTS FISH POPULATIONS. RFRI HABITAT PROJECTS IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FISH POPULATIONS AND THEIR HABITATS. 176564 SPORTFISH STOCKING INITIATIVE.
