About Our Programs
PRESENT
The RFRI is excited to share many of the successful and innovative projects that have been improving Louisiana’s fisheries science while merging it with the depth of the recreational fishing public, who in turn benefit from their participation in the management process. The RFRI has also developed ideas, processes, and software for a variety of related projects, and we invite you to learn more about their successful implementation of them. We welcome partners to join the RFRI in this new approach to conservation combined with the full outdoor experience of great times on the water with family and friends.

PAST
Through the grassroots efforts of our leadership and commitment from our partners, the programs that began almost two decades ago continue to produce vital habitat and educational benefits to anglers today. The programs of RFRI are firmly ingrained in its past. Below are programs that paved that foundation of education RFRI is proud to endorse.

ALWAYS
The restoration of fish habitat and increased data collection of “citizen scientists” through past programs like the Bay Ronquille inshore artificial reef and TAG Louisiana allowed for the public’s direct participation in education and conservation. With new advances in technology, citizen scientists have more availability to this data and the ability to share their experiences than ever before. These same advances in technology have provided researchers with new ways to begin gathering data as well. Now anglers can “Fish with a Purpose”!
