"We started this program five years ago when we as a staff talked about the need to promote fisheries and natural resources management to the next generation," said Russ Svec, fishery manager for the Makah Tribe. "We hope to not only spark student interest in fisheries management, but through their experience, promote a better understanding of our native culture and environment. We want to connect them to those stories our elders told us, to create the passion about what we have and to protect it for tomorrow."
