Welcome back to another episode of Fisheries Gone Wild with CCA NC. This week we invite our good freind Pat Donovan Brandenburg with the city of Jacksonville to join us as we dicuss how water quality and habitat play a major role in having healthy and sustainable fisheries. Pat has built her career around restoring and cleaning up the New River, from the late 1980s to 2001 the New River was closed to commercial and recreational uses. Since 2001 due to Pat, her staff and many partners the New River has remained open and water quality continues to improve. Listen in as Pat covers the past, present and furture of the condition of the New River and how the Oyster Highway played a pivitol role in the cleanup effort. This is a true success story and Pat has been able to see all of her hard work become a reality. CCA NC is glad to have played a role in the restoration process.
