Conservation

It is the charge of the Gulf Coast Council to both educate about and help conserve those natural resources valuable to the fly fishing experience. In doing so, the GCC works through it's member clubs to conduct grass roots-based projects.

Requests for conservation funding should be sent directly to the GCC VP Conservation. It is our job to guide requests through the GCC Board of Directors and/or on to the Federation of Fly Fishers Conservation Board for funding. 

Just a few examples of conservation projects include: derelict crab trap collection, restoration of a public pond, stocking of a stream or lake following a fish kill, establishing youth or handicap access, fish tagging, fish migration and reproductive monitoring, planting or seeding of mangroves or similiar vegetation to protect against wetlands loss. Many projects can be cooperative efforts with other organizations such as the Coastal Conservation Association, Nature Conservancy, Trout Unlimited, and others.
