A secret weapon with a cold nose! Our law enforcement dept. has wildlife inspector canines with very important jobs, one of those jobs, detecting wildlife being smuggled into the U.S. and injurious invasive species, like zebra and quagga mussels, on watercraft. #NationalPetDay

By the time you finish listening to Fish of the Week, you'll either be glad or jealous you didn't soil your pants sliding down gray bat guano to meet this amazing fish (wherever you get podcasts).

☝️Remember the days of the 'mom and pop' bait shops where your bait and cold soda pops were in the same refrigerated section of the store? Living in a rural area, it was the place to get all things fishing & more! 🎣Do you have a store like that near where you live? #MOMandPOP
Impressive salmon art at Portland elementary school!
Several public schools in the city are studying salmon right now, part of a USFWS Fisheries program that brings science education into classrooms.

💧 #worldwaterday Water, an important resource for people/fishes/wildlife/plants, like the razorback sucker. Native to the Colorado River - it's been around more than 3 million years! Now endangered, the its populations are supplemented by stocking fish and reintroduction efforts.
🌎 #GlobalRecyclingDay ! Been out fishing or swimming and get tangled up in fishing line left behind? Happens to fish & wildlife too.😔Some outdoor stores and fishing access sites offer recycling. Or wind it up around your hand, cut through each side before putting in trash.
