Introduction & Stewardship Pledge

[Recycled_Fish]

Greetings from Recycled Fish!

We first want to thank the moderators of the board for their generous offer to let us share the Sportsman's Stewardship Pledge here.

Recycled Fish is the organization of anglers as stewards of the resource, we’re crazy about fish and fishing just like you. In this new year, there's a push like never before for those of us who love the lakes, streams and seas to be the best caretakers of them that we can be. Recycled fish is leading the charge with anglers like you.

Learn more about us at our website, www.RecycledFish.org.

Our waterways are a "canary in the coal mine" for bigger environmental problems, and in our times they're speaking to troubles indeed. We anglers and sportsmen are the ones who have for generations been their stewards, and we must carry on that legacy together.

Check out the Sportsman's Stewardship Pledge below, and then click through to our site to add your name to stand up as a steward in a new way in 2008!

Everybody who takes the pledge gets a free packet of goodies in the mail from us, including FoodSource Lures, a Seafood Watch guide, Recycled Fish Decal and more.

There's no cost, nothing to buy, but everything to lose. Our lakes, streams and seas need not just sportsmen - but stewards - in 2008.

I choose to be a good steward of our natural resources on and off the water by living a lifestyle of environmental awareness.

I will always abide by fish & game laws where I fish or hunt.

I practice Catch and Release & Selective Harvest faithfully and responsibly.

I will “police my resource,” by turning in poachers and reporting polluters.

I will make up for “the other guy” by collecting trash wherever I see it.

I will not trespass to fish or hunt.

I will boat in a safe and responsible manner.

I will treat other users of the resource with exceptional respect.

I will get involved in local conservation projects

I will encourage others to take the stewardship pledge and I will promote the ethic of natural resource stewardship.

I choose to serve as a role model in protecting what remains, and recovering what’s been lost of our wild and natural places.

I am a steward.
