| INFORMATIONAL MEETING ON LEHIGH RIVER FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SLATED |
| April 3, 2007 |
 |
| The Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will host a public information meeting on fisheries management for the
Lehigh River on April 12 from 7-9 p.m. at Lehighton High School.
The PFBC will present an update on
the development of a fisheries management plan for the river, with a special emphasis on the portion
of the river from FE Walter Reservoir to the mouth. The plan will be a “living document” that will be
modified as needed and regularly updated on a five-year basis. At the meeting, the public will be given
an opportunity to ask questions regarding the plan development and contribute to it through comments. Among the items
being considered is the potential for special fishing regulations in the area of the river immediately downstream
of the dam.
For those unable to attend the meeting and offer oral comment, written comments will be accepted when the
draft document is published.
The meeting site is located at 1 Indian Lane in Lehighton. |
