Southern California Native Freshwater Fauna Working Group Meeting

There is an upcoming Southern California Native Freshwater Fauna Working Group Meeting to be held in March 2008. This meeting will emphasize the potential and efficacy for using native fishes, such as Arroyo chub, instead of non-native fishes, mainly mosquitofish, for mosquito control, as previously discussed in the Working Group meeting held on 26 January, 2008. Please plan on attending this meeting so we may address this important issue most effectively as attendees representing the vector control community.

Meeting Time and Location

Location: California Polytechnic University Pomona
Building 4; Ist Floor; Room 314

Parking: Lot J

Date & Time: Saturday, 15 March, 2008 at 10:00 AM
