Ok I'm not going to argue the potential positive impacts from these proposed projects, some are probably good and even positive for the enhancement of fish and game (although I only see a couple that I think would have direct positive impacts) but what I am concerned about is that this is the directive now for the DFW. They are being utilized more and more for green projects or supporting green projects under the idea that as long as it's good for mother nature it falls under the Department of Fish and Wildlife's umbrella.
My contention is this state is redirecting the purpose of the DFW and also much of the funds collected from fish and game license holders purchases. Yes I know this is a "grant" from cap and trade moneys collected but seems a better use for grant money allocated by the DFW would be to directly enhance fish and game opportunities, direct being the key wording especially since the budget is being slashed (see hatchery discussions).
What say you?
