The Adirondack Watershed Institute Stewardship Program (AWISP) is part of coordinated efforts at the local, regional and statewide levels to detect and arrest the spread of AIS. The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) works year-round with partner organizations, communities and government agencies to understand and manage a range of environmental quality issues through research and education. 2014 marked the fifteenth field season for the AWISP. 2014 highlights: Clean, Drain, Dry! AWISP stewards provided coverage at 31 launches on 26 lakes and ponds this season sharing the message of “Clean, Drain, and Dry!” New Education Program! The AWISP launched an off-site environmental education program called the Water Shield Workshop. The program integrates land-based exercises with on-water activities for participants of all ages. Water Shield Workshops were held at Lake Pleasant, Schroon Lake, and Lower Saranac Lake in 2014. Finding Bythotrephes! Survey efforts by AWISP staff confirmed the presence of spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus) in Lake Pleasant and Piseco Lake for the first time. See it! Touch it! Learn it! The AWISP purchased an Enviroscape watershed model for education and outreach activities. Round-up of accomplishments, by the numbers: AWISP stewards confirmed and removed 834 AIS from inspected watercraft across the Adirondack region. -

Landlocked Salmon
-- (-)1". Al Ye, a LANDLOCKED SALMON 5TATE OF NEW' YORK - di) N 5 E. RV AT I 0 ti DEPARTMENT STATE OF NEW YORK CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT Perry B. Duryea, Commissioner J. Victor Skiff, Dep. Com. Robt.A. Wells, Secy. This is the second of a series of progress reports from Fish and Game researchers and field men, Present- ing important findings from their day to day work. Through these bulletins, the Conservation Department is Providing an opportunity for all Persons interested in our wildlife to be fully and promptly informed on the latest developments in fish and game management. AN INFORMATION SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE DIVISION OF FISH AND GAME J.T. Mahoney, Director Win. C. Senning, Asst. Dir. FOREWORD New York anglers have enjoyed comparatively little good fishing for landlocked salmon. Fewlakes have any of these highly-prized game fish, which are too few and far between in the lakes where they do exist. This situation should be changed if it is possible to do so for many lakes appear to be well-suited to produce landlocks. Success will depend upon finding out how to build up this resource and upon facilities with which to work. This was recognized at the start of an intensive salmon project begun in 1944. At the beginning, the outlook was far from bright. Today it's apparent that the turning point has been reached. Already the supply of salmon has been materially increased in the waters concerned. The 1948 yield of spawn, vital to any enlarged fish cultural operation, was over 35 quarts (over 150,000 eggs) and a progress- ive increase each year is in sight. -
