1. Investigation of Ganne Fishing Potential 



This project involves: (1) Exploratory fishing covering all reasonable 

 types of sport fishing in these waters to assess over-all potential. (2) Bio- 

 logical investigations, including collection of specimens and compiling of 

 data on fish sizes, distribution, and habits. (3) Public relations activities. 

 (4) Fresh water stocking activities consisting mainly of stocking certain ponds 

 in St. Croix with black bass and smaller species.
