The purpose for the meeting was to bring together key staff from the field, Regional and Washington offices to discuss how to more effectively manage the fisheries and aquatic resources of Region 3. 

The meeting also provided the program a chance to address common challenges and opportunities. 

The meeting was a great opportunity to network with Project Leaders and management staff from across the Region as well as view presentations from a variety of topics ranging from conserving aquatic habitat to aquatic invasive species prevention strategies.
