Man Trades Day Job for New Conservation Project on Wild Fish Habitat Protection

One man is trading his desk job protecting environmental laws for a new conservation project of his own design.

Paul Moinester, formersenior legislative assistant in the U.S. House of Representatives, is embarking on a six-month, 20,000-mile adventure to help protect wild fish and their habitat. He is meeting with people along the way who also work to protect wild fish, and sharing conservation stories in a blog.

Moinester’s conservation project, “An Upstream Journey,” intends to spark interest in others to join the fight for wild fish and habitat protection.
