Presenter(s):  Sascha Clark Danylchuck

Description:  Many of our most treasured fisheries are threatened or in decline.  There is a growing body of science showing that when anglers make small adjustments in the way they catch, handle, and release fish it can create better outcomes for individual fish and populations.  Keep Fish Wet provides anglers with the science-based best practices needed to release fish in the best condition possible.  We believe that by using science-based best practices, anglers can put conservation into practice every time they catch a fish.
