What is MinnAqua?

Here to help you promote fishing and conservation

MinnAqua is a fishing and aquatic education program. We partner with community organizations, schools and angling groups that want to teach adults or youth how to fish and protect aquatic habitat.

MinnAqua education specialists can help your organization develop or improve education programs that promote fishing recreation and aquatic conservation.
