The 1998 Sport Fishing and Boating Safety Act (Act) directed the
Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the Sport Fishing
and Boating Partnership Council (SFBPC), to develop and implement a
National Outreach and Communications Program aimed at increasing
participation in recreational boating and fishing, and promoting
conservation and responsible use of the Nation's aquatic resources.
The Program is guided by a stakeholder-developed strategic plan
created in 1998. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation
(RBFF) was formally established in October 1998 to carry out
objectives of that plan. Pursuant to the Act, the Secretary of the
Interior is directed to undertake periodic reviews of the Program.
Responsibility for undertaking the required assessment was
delegated to SFBPC, on behalf of the Secretary, through a 1999
memorandum of understanding which states the SFBPC "will monitor
the implementation of the program, will evaluate effectiveness of
the program by communicating regularly with its stakeholders, and
will regularly report findings to the Secretary and the signatories
of this agreement." In 2002, the SFBPC undertook the first review
resulting in the report, Implementation of the Strategic Plan for
the National Outreach and Communications Program, a progress report
to the Secretary of the Interior. This assessment constitutes a
second review of the Foundation and its implementation of the
Program.

The Names of the Sea-Trout, his last published collection of poems,
confirmed Tom Rawling as a spiritual poet. Drawing on his childhood
in Cumberland, his passion for trout-fishing and his relationship
with his wife, he creates in these poems images that are full of
resonances of a bygone era, yet are sharp, immediate and
brilliantly luminous. This collection undoubtedly underlined
Rawling's reputation as a thoroughly contemporary pastoral poet.

has a unique way of ending up in near disaster situations and
somehow always gets up laughing.
