Alpena National Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office (NFWCO) Fishery Biologist Scott Koproski delivered a presentation to the Alpena Senior Citizens Center this March as part of the center's "Under the Sea Week.  The Senior Center invited various people from the community to speak to its members about local attractions and activities.  The speaker list included local fishing guides, lighthouse enthusiasts, shipwreck experts and natural resource professionals. 

Koproski spoke about projects related to aquatic invasive species, native species restoration, treaty fishery assistance, and habitat and ecosystem health.  He also gave advice to local anglers looking for some shore-fishing opportunities.  The group was most interested in the work that the Alpena NFWCO conducts to improve habitat and ecosystem health.  However, many individuals were looking for fishing hot spots and favorite lures to improve their fishing success.  About 20 people attended this presentation, asked questions, and expressed their appreciation for the information provided.
