Registration is now open for the 2023 Introductory Fisheries Science for Stakeholders (IFISSH) course offered through Rutgers Cooperative Extension. The objective of this course is to educate stakeholders of New Jersey’s commercial and recreational fisheries so that they will better understand and make progress on issues impacting their industries, including the science, management, and responsible stewardship of fishery resources.
Ten class sessions will meet via Zoom webinar on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9 p.m. from February 21 through May 2 (excluding March 14). Each class will include a mixture of presentations with Q&A and open discussion periods. For those anglers thinking of getting more involved in the fisheries management process or perhaps heading up the conservation side of things at a Jersey Shore fishing club, the $40 program fee is a great price for an outstanding 10-session online course.
