The
Awards Committee of the Kansas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society would
like to recognize several award winners during presentations held on February 6th
and 7th 2025 in Manhattan, Kansas (as part of the Kansas Natural
Resources Conference).
Connor Ossowski –
certificate of appreciation for serving as Past
president
There
were many great presentations at the 2025 Kansas Natural Resources Conference. In
total, we judged 14 oral presentations and 10 posters. Thank you to those that
volunteered to judge presentations.
These
meetings would not be as valuable without your willingness to share your
research and management findings. We thank those presenters and encourage
others to share their project outcomes at next years’ meeting. The winners of
the 2025 awards are as follows:
