 A mini sport fishing clinic is offered each morning at the Marine Resources Aquarium for individuals interested in participating in the rod-loaner program. Training includes fish identification, equipment use, types of bait, fishing laws, and angler ethics. The fishing equipment is available for the day, free-of-charge, to trained anglers. This program will also be offered on Burnt Island, as the northern and western shores lend themselves to recrestional fishing. It will be recognized nationally because the Education Division is sponsored in-part by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Sport Fish Restoration Fund.
