Greetings everyone,
The next Texas Waters Webinar is only two weeks away! The webinar will be held Tuesday, February 26th from 3:00pm – 4:00pm (please note different time). Kelly’s webinar will cover how the proposed Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (H.R. 4647) would fund research and conservation of any species determined to be a Species of Greatest Conservation Need, including any mammal, bird, fish, jellyfish, plant, snake, and turtle that needs it. The webinar relates to material in portions of Chapter 1: Texas Aquatic Habitats and the Species They Support; Chapter 2: The Characteristics, Components, and Value of Healthy Watershed Ecosystems; Chapter 5: The Ecological Significance of Natural Flow Regimes; and Chapter 6: The Role and Function of Wetlands and Estuarine Systems of the Texas Waters: Exploring Water and Watersheds curriculum.
