Department of Interior
Partners in Conservation Award
On May 7, 2009, Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar presented
the “Casting Light Upon the Waters” Committee with a Partners in
Conservation Award for their work in protecting fishery resources and
reducing user conflicts in Wisconsin. It was one of 26 national awards to
individuals and organizations presented at a ceremony at Interior
headquarters in Washington, D.C. to honor “those who achieve natural
resource goals in collaboration and partnership with others.”
The Great
Lakes Regional Collaboration was named as one of the award recipients
because of its support for boater education on preventing the spread of
aquatic invasive species under the GLRC's Clean
Boats Every Day initiative at the Casting Light Upon the Waters
Committee's Partners Fishing Event on June 12, 2008.
