Short Description:
  The Aquatic Resources Education Programs (ARE) include the Fisheries Monitoring Program, aka Watershed Watch and the Fishing Skills Program. Both programs are sponsored by NM Department of Game and Fish through contractor services and Department staff. Watershed Watch provides high school teachers and students with opportunities to monitor streams in their watershed throughout the school year. Fishing Skills offers a variety of angling education programs and events for both K-12 and communities in NM. Classroom sessions provide broad watershed and aquatic ecosystem educational presentations. Field sessions offer opportunities for experiential learning. Community events include annual June Free Fishing Day, community and kids' fishing clinics, aquatic day at State Fair, pond studies and statewide childrens' water festival presentations.
