January 1, 1991, and by the End of June, Nearly 615,000 Permits Had Been Sold, Exceeding the Commission's Early Estimate A Progressive 12 Months The 1990-91 fiscal year ended on June 30, 1991, completing one of the most challenging 12-month periods in recent Commission history. At the July 30,1990, Commission meeting, William J. Sabatose was elected Commission President and Leonard A. Green was elected Vice President to guide the agency through this busy year. Implementation of the new trout/salmon permit regulation began on January 1, 1991, and by the end of June, nearly 615,000 permits had been sold, exceeding the Commission's early estimate. This new revenue allowed the agency to move ahead on schedule with major hatchery renovation at many of our fish culture stations. Commission revenues from federal aid also exceeded previous year receipts by nearly $700,000, which is a timely result of intensified efforts by the Commission to capture all available federal funding for public fishery and boating purposes. On May 9, 1991, dedication ceremonies were held at the new Conowingo Dam fish lift on the lower Susquehanna River. This new $12 million facility is a major accomplishment in our long-standing Susquehanna River anadromous fish restoration efforts. Commission engineers also completed surveys and conceptual designs for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources to use for fishway construction at Easton and Chain dams on the Lehigh River. On May 10, 1991, 15 new waterways conservation officers graduated from the H. R. Stackhouse School of Fishery Conservation and Watercraft Safety. Six of the new officers were assigned to vacant districts, and the remaining nine WCOs were given a variety of assignments during the recreation season, mostly in the area of boating safety enforcement. The addition of these officers helped with successful prosecutions of nearly 6,300 Fish Law and 3,600 Boat Law violations. New statewide bass regulations were established for the 1991 fishing season. These changes have been enthusiastically accepted by conservation- minded bass fishermen statewide. Bass populations have already responded favorably to more conservative management regulations. Much progress was made in expanding the KARE (Keystone Aquatic Resource Education) program, and the stage is set to reach an increasing number of young people in the 1991-1992 school year. Completion of several key acquisitions, including the Elk Creek Marina site on Lake Erie, were completed, and substantial progress was made with development of the Lake Erie North East Access site. Fish production and stocking efforts exceeded 120 million, up nine million from the previous year. However, adult trout production was down slightly because of serious bird predation at several of our largest trout stations. Cooperative nurseries had another productive year, providing more than 1.3 million fish while donating nearly 157,000 hours of volunteer effort. The Adopt-a-Stream program included 185 projects and many hours of volunteer effort, and 19 Education & Information volunteers gave over 1,000 hours of effort and instructed 15,000 people. Twelve water safety awareness instructor training sessions were held, and these volunteers gave more than 2,300 hours of their time to this boating safety effort. These efforts, together with the many hours volunteered by the deputy waterways conservation officers, are an invaluable addition to the Commission's programs and to the public. On behalf of the Commission and the public, I commend them for their dedication. Next year presents a whole new set of challenges, and the Commission looks forward to moving ahead in all program areas. Your continued support is essential to these efforts.
