Provided the first, and now the most extensive, nationally coordinated effort using trained facilitators to deliver hands-on fishing and aquatic-resource education to school-aged children.
Unique programs offer a series of classroom and outdoor sessions and not just one-day introductory experiences. Youths receive continual contact from knowledgeable fishing educators, increasing the likelihood they will become conservation-minded anglers in adulthood.
What Makes F3 Special?Since 1986, F3
programs have reached 1 MILLION +
school-aged childrenin all 50 states
an achievement unequalled by any other
fishing-education organization.
The Need for F3 ServicesWith fishing
participation rates and angler retention at the lowest levels in decades, F3’s mission to increase the number of school-aged children who fish is more important than ever.
FactChildren who get
outdoors to fish and experience nature perform better in school, exhibit less stress and are less likely to experience problems such as obesity and attention deficit disorder.
Fact
The number of 6- to 15-year-olds who fished fell from 10.5 million in 1996 to 8.3 million in 2006, a decline of 2.2 million in just 10 years.
FactIn 1990, 65% of all
individuals who had ever fished in their lives remained active. By 2005, this percentage had fallen to 57%. Angler retention fell 8% in just 15 years.
FactThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service says “... long-term fishing involvement is associated with early initiation.” In other words, those initiated into fishing at younger ages are more active anglers later in life. Therefore, the declines just noted should be of great concern to individuals, organizations and companies directly associated with fishing.
Fewer Future Anglers Means …Fewer fishing license
sales that fund state fish-and-wildlife agency conservation/management programs
Fewer Future Anglers Means …Decreased sales of
boats and tackle that support fishing-industry manufacturers, distributors and retailers
Fewer Future Anglers Means …Reduction in the
amount of excise taxes collected on sales of fishing gear and boating fuel that fund aquatic-resources conservation and education
Fewer Future Anglers Means …Fewer anglers spending
money on food, lodging, transportation and other fishing-trip-related expenses that help support our nation’s $125 billion a year sportfishing industry.
These Facts Show…There’s Never Been a Greater Needfor F3 Services.
