Reel Conservation Application

Reel Conservation Application
Thank you for your participation in Reel Conservation.

Remember: to be certified, a fishing habitat must follow all Conservation Practices in addition to one Educational Outreach Practice and one Habitat Protection Practice. These are all effective conservation actions, so AEF encourages those seeking certification to soar above the minimum requirements!

A non-refundable application fee of __ is required for each habitat that you would like to certify. This offsets the administrative costs of reviewing and processing your application, while also supporting American Eagle Foundation’s conservation initiatives.

Please Note: Your approved application will receive a certificate with your habitat’s ID number for recognition on our map. Physical signage for your habitat and fishing line receptacles must be purchased separately.
