tration. It involves extreme weather conditions, varied as to time and place; wild 

 and sometimes inaccessible terrain; diverse land uses, often adversely affecting 

 water conditions and natural habitat; and a multiplicity of destructive factors which 

 must be continually kept under control. In administering this valuable inheritance 

 the Department is guided by the necessity for protecting the capital stock, main- 

 taining an adequate supply and ensuring an equitable distribution. These three 

 phases are met by sound laws properly enforced, an extensive programme of fish 

 culture operations, and adequate sanctuary for all classes of game. A complete 

 resume of Departmental activities will be found herein.
