Introduction and Announcements

KEYWORDS: Desert Fishes Council; 24th Annual Symposium

ABSTRACT

Next year the Desert Fishes Council will celebrate its 25th Anniversary. As we view our progress, we may look with pride upon our growth and success. We have increased our numbers by more than 500, and we are truly international in membership and perspective. As we enter into the next 25 years, we may be sure that it will become increasingly difficult to protect the aquatic biological resources that brought us together in 1969. However, we may take comfort in the fact that we are now much better equipped to handle the problems that confront us than we were when we first met. The next 25 years will be fraught with both problems and promise. This will be a productive subject to occupy our thoughts as we approach next year's meeting.

RESUMEN

Podemos sentir orgullosos sobre el crecimiento del grupo y los exitos. Ahora contamos con mas de 500 miembros y somos verdaderamente un grupo internacional en membresia y perspectiva. En los 25 años futuros que vamos entrando, podemos estar seguros que va a ser siempre mas difícil proteger los recursos que nos animaron a reunirnos en 1969. Sin embargo, podemos estar cómodos en el hecho que estamos ahora mucho mejor equipados para manejar los problemas que nos enfrentan que eramos cuando primero reunimos. Los próximos 25 años estarán llenos de ambos problemas y promesas. Es un tópico fértil para contemplar mientras acercamos a nuestra próxima reunión
