SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2015 5 B ODFW announces upcoming Family Fishing days SALEM — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife invites Oregon fami- lies to come fishing at one of 33 free Family Fishing events scheduled throughout the state this spring and summer. “The events are designed to show families how easy and fun fishing can be,” said Shahab Farzanegan, ODFW angler education coordinator. ODFW provides loaner rods and reels, tackle, instruction and freshly stocked fish — everything a family needs for a successful fishing trip. Children under the age of 14 can fish for free, kids 14 to 17 and adults will need an Oregon fishing license in order to fish. For families that can’t attend one of the scheduled events, ODFW offers several resources to help you go fishing on your own, including: • Easy Angling Oregon at www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/ fishing/easy_angling • 101 great places for fami- lies to fish in Oregon at www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/ fishing/where_how/gear.asp • Rod, reel and tackle recom- mendations at www.dfw.state. or.us/resources/fishing/where_ how/trout.asp • How to fish for trout in rivers and lakes at www. dfw.state.or.us/resources/fish- ing/trout.asp Visit the ODFW website, click on the Fishing tab at the top of the page, select Where and How from the menu.

At the Oregon Coast Aquarium, folks will find none of that necessary. Interpretive volunteers collectively con- nect with over 400,000 visitors each year. Speaking on behalf of ani- mals and their environments is no simple task, which is why the Oregon Coast Aquarium treats its volunteer recruits to a six-weekend crash course, which starts on April 4, on the coastal and marine fauna of Oregon. Upon graduation, these vol- unteers spend a few hours each week speaking on behalf of Oregon’s marine animals and their environments to aquari- um visitors. This exposure provides people a tremendous opportunity to make a positive impact for their local environ- ment, and the ocean on a glob- al scale. “When a volunteer connects with a visitor about a particu- lar animal, or a conservation issue like marine debris, they make an impression that may last a lifetime,” said Beth Hawkyard, Volunteer Services Manager for the Aquarium. Additional perks for aquari- um volunteers include: • Complimentary Aquarium membership. • Invitations to participate in exclusive lectures and continu- ing education programs. • A behind-the-scenes look at a marine science exhibition facility that is consistently ranked among the 10 best in the U.S. • Subscription to the month- ly newsletter, The Upwelling. • Discounts at the Wildlife Trading Company gift shops in the aquarium. • The opportunity to join rank with nearly 350 other out- standing volunteers that share a passion for marine science. To learn how to become one of the newest voices of Oregon’s marine and coastal environments, visit www. aquarium.org or contact the aquarium’s Volunteer Services department at volunteer@ aquarium.org.
