Ed Schriever, Executive Director of Idaho Department of Fish & Game, spoke with host Mike Leonard about the National Fish Habitat Partnership (NFHP), which enhances fish and aquatic communities through partnerships that foster fish habitat conservation and improve the quality of life for the American people. Leonard is a member of the NFHP board and Schriever is Chairman. The board plays an integral role advancing the partnership. Since 2006, NFHP has funded 1200 projects around the country that improve the health of aquatic systems. In this episode, Schriever gives an overview of what NFHP is about, it's history and opportunities to scale the program up in the future.
