A future vision for the initiative, in my mind, would be to sponsor graduate student work overseas... Send a fisheries student, or otherwise, to Morocco, let's say, to search out native populations of trout but also help find someone on the ground who can start a group capable of receiving World Trout money and doing something beneficial with it. Part of the difficulty, outside of the US at least, has been finding groups to give money to... In the case of the Balkan Trout Restoration Group— which has been a great success in helping educate locals in Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, and Montenegro about the very individual, strange, and endangered trout that live in their streams, and mobilizing locals to take pride in and protect these fishes—the recipient has been a concerned professor at the University of Ljubliana, Slovenia whom I met years ago, named Ales Snoj. But without Ales, who has devoted a good part of his life to studying marbled trout and softmouth trout, we would have no organization and no way of supporting anything over there. What I mean to say is, that identifying a group to give money to can be difficult... Help in finding such individuals and groups is welcome!jameprohttp://openid.aol.com/jamepronoreply@blogger.com
