A three‐year‐old Environmental Protection Agency program in lake restoration provides matching Federal funds to improve and enhance freshwater lakes. To date, fisheries scientists have not been active in many of the funded projects. Fisheries personnel need to play a role in the local development and implementation of restoration programs to assure protection and enhancement of a fishery, one of a lake's most important and beneficial uses. Some fish improvement programs would be eligible for fifty percent Federal matching funds.
