Excerpt from Sport Fishery and Wildlife Research, 1974-75: Activities in the Divisions of Research for the Fiscal Year 1974-75 A biologist inspects an osprey nest on Isla Ventana, Gulf of California.

Excerpt from Sport Fishery and Wildlife Research, 1973-74: Activities in the Divisions of Research for the Calendar Year 1973 and the First Half of 1974 Public awareness of our natural environment and its misuse continues to grow. In the fish and wildlife sector, concern is increasing for endangered species and for nongame wildlife. If wild populations of many forms of fish and wildlife are to be maintained in the face of changing and dwindling habitat resulting from human activity, more must be known about the animals' biology, ecology, and behavior. This is the function of sport fishery and wildlife research. The purpose of this publication is to relate some of the activities and accomplishments of sport fishery and wildlife research in the u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service. The report covers the period of 1 January 1973 through 30 June 1974, and changes the reporting period for this and future annual reports from calendar to fiscal year.
