The South Central District Fisheries Information Meeting kicked off with an engaging introduction from District Manager Brad Ifert, who welcomed approximately 30 attendees online and encouraged participation through typed questions. The meeting, held on January 1, 2025, aimed to update the community on various fishery initiatives and projects in the district.

Ifert outlined the agenda, highlighting significant changes since the previous year, ongoing projects, and updates on fish management and research. He emphasized the importance of community involvement, inviting attendees to submit questions for discussion at the end of the presentation.

A key focus of the meeting was the management of aquatic invasive species, a pressing issue for local fisheries. Ifert noted that all presentations would be available on the Game and Parks YouTube channel, ensuring that those unable to attend could still access the information.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming Southwest District information session, encouraging further engagement from the community. This proactive approach aims to foster awareness and collaboration in managing Nebraska's valuable aquatic resources.
