Texas Living Waters is a collaborative initiative led by the National Wildlife Federation, with key participation from long-time partners the Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter, Nature Conservancy, Hill Country Alliance, and Galveston Bay Foundation. Over the years, Texas Living Waters has also engaged in informal collaborations with a wide range of organizations and institutions to advance a shared vision of water for people and wildlife.

I have often wondered if regulations on fish and wildlife has led to the short life and little to no reproduction on wildlife and fish. So we are geting jest the opposite rezalts as we all want and need for the United States of America. If we compared other countries all over the world to the United States of America we may see that we have less wildlife and less fish do to not any real dependency on the wildlife or the fish. I have not study this in depth but I have looked over it. In other countries there is alot of animals aka wildlife that to this day migrate and are know for there migration as I have seen study on fish for this as well. If there is less migration in the united states of America that effect all states of the United States of America at every part. So by regulating this may have places the vary Thang we all enjoy and love to eat and see in the world by taking way the much needed pressure on the wildlife and we are told there is over fishing and over hunting and over troping when in truth there is less then any time in history. Understand this is jest my understanding and I have been I all 48 lower states as well as Canada for days at a time in each state if not months and years alot of the Lower 48 states. I had traped at a vary young age and hunted and have fish nearly all my life . I have some frainds in Wisconsin that hunt and trap as well as fish. And we all have seen less and less out there as well as my friends in wv and indiana . I can't speek for my father inlaw in Texas but it would be a good conversation with him to see the difference over time in all this and his understanding as well because I know he has taken my wife fishing and my sister inlaw and brother inlaw George. I do know I have seen less wildlife in Texas sence I fist started visiting Texas in 1999. I'm jest questing what you all see as well and your understanding over time.
When Perry hears the word ‘green’ or ‘sustainable’ this mind wanders to ‘conspiracy of the left’ thinking. They are all about task forces but resist anything concrete or binding.
