The monthly report will provide an overview of Alpena FRO activities as reported by Alpena FRO staff in the Region's Accomplishment Reporting System and emphasizes the seven themes of the Service's Fisheries Program Vision for the Future. The list of recipients includes partners and friends of the Alpena FRO, and others with an interest in the natural resources of the Great Lakes. One hundred and nineteen individuals were contacted to determine if they would prefer to receive the report on a regular basis. The plan is to provide interested partners with an electronic copy of future accomplishment reports.
