Fishing for Conservation
One of the most fun ways to use your knowledge about aquatic science is to go fishing. It’s a great way to spend time with friends and family outdoors. With over 191,000 miles of rivers, 212 major lakes, 367 miles of coastline, and 3,300 miles of bays and estuaries, Texas has many places to go fishing. Hike or take a canoe or boat to a fishing spot. Try camping near a lake. Cook what you catch and have a picnic. Fishing is a great way to learn about nature. When you go fishing for fun, you are called an angler. To be a good angler, you need patience, fishing skills, and knowledge about aquatic ecosystems.

Aquatic habitats are communities in which complex interactions take place among populations and individual organisms as they compete for limited resources in an interdependent web of relationships. Within a community every species has a particular niche. A species’ niche defines how a species fits into its environment. It includes its way of getting food, the habitat it needs, and the role it performs in the community.
