Welcome,
This site was established in conjunction
with the Mid-Atlantic Council Federation of Fly
Fishers as a means to provide current information on
Conservation issues, programs, and activities in the
mid-Atlantic states and to provide a comprehensive
list of links to Conservation-related
As part of our conservation outreach
activities we provide here links to assist those
interested in conservation, find additional
information related to organizations, programs and
approaches that improve and sustain our natural
aquatic resources. The appearance of external links
on this site does not constitute endorsement;
however, we do believe that the organizations listed
are viable groups working toward the improvement of
our natural resources.
We need your help to make this site a
useful tool. Please alert us if we have a link to a
undesirable site or a broken (invalid) link.
Suggestions for additional conservation sites are
welcomed. Please send your comments to:
