Eddies seeks to inform its readers of the work – past, present, and future – of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Division of Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Conservation.  Each issue has several feature stories and five regular departments. 

Assistant Director, Gary Frazer, leads each issue with his Headwaters column. Watermarks covers the newsy and noteworthy, including a column by the curator at the D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery.  If you like Antiques Road Show, you’ll like Randi Smith’s stories.

American Fishes covers the life history of an important fish, from catfish to the cutthroats, each story written by those who know the fish well.

Readers learn about the men and women of conservation from the past – those Pioneers who have worked in fisheries for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service since 1871.

Meanders closes each issue.  There, readers find sinuous thoughts and mature and evocative writing – some good story-telling – that pushes at the edges like a mature river wanders a valley floor. The back cover is reserved for a parting snapshot of data that point up the work of the Division of Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Conservation. Queries are invited.
