Description of the video:
0:00:00.240,0:00:05.040
my name is Sarah Murphy I'm from Bedford
0:00:02.639,0:00:08.790
Indiana and my major is outdoor
0:00:05.040,0:00:10.769
recreation parts and human ecology so
0:00:08.790,0:00:13.200
I'm taking integrated resource
0:00:10.769,0:00:15.540
management with dr. James farmer so we
0:00:13.200,0:00:18.600
are working on the iboga Fish Hatchery
0:00:15.540,0:00:21.810
project with Lawrence County and so
0:00:18.600,0:00:23.070
basically the DNR is decommissioning it
0:00:21.810,0:00:24.240
so they're not gonna they don't want to
0:00:23.070,0:00:26.039
manage it anymore
0:00:24.240,0:00:28.769
so Lawrence County is considering taking
0:00:26.039,0:00:31.590
it over for their community so as
0:00:28.769,0:00:33.930
students we are basically creating
0:00:31.590,0:00:36.180
proposals for Lawrence County because
0:00:33.930,0:00:37.730
this is the first time they've really
0:00:36.180,0:00:40.980
dealt with the projects like this um
0:00:37.730,0:00:42.780
it's a really open slate as to what they
0:00:40.980,0:00:45.690
want to do with this site so we're just
0:00:42.780,0:00:47.160
providing ideas as to what they could do
0:00:45.690,0:00:49.350
at this site that's gonna be
0:00:47.160,0:00:51.120
economically sustainable as well as
0:00:49.350,0:00:53.699
ecologically sustainable the biggest
0:00:51.120,0:00:56.579
things I've learned it would be you have
0:00:53.699,0:00:59.760
to look at the big picture when dealing
0:00:56.579,0:01:01.350
with management strategy so not focusing
0:00:59.760,0:01:03.510
on what you would like to do with this
0:01:01.350,0:01:05.729
site but really knowing what the
0:01:03.510,0:01:08.610
community can do with this isoh how they
0:01:05.729,0:01:10.830
will use it separating yourself from the
0:01:08.610,0:01:12.000
area and looking at the big picture for
0:01:10.830,0:01:14.360
the community and the stakeholders
0:01:12.000,0:01:17.009
involved being in the class that is
0:01:14.360,0:01:19.320
closely involved in my community it's
0:01:17.009,0:01:21.810
just it's really awesome it makes my
0:01:19.320,0:01:24.450
major feel more tangible that I macula
0:01:21.810,0:01:26.360
that I'm doing work that I could see in
0:01:24.450,0:01:28.590
the future like oh I had a part in this
0:01:26.360,0:01:32.490
so let's just I mean it's awesome and
0:01:28.590,0:01:33.689
also we sent out a survey what people
0:01:32.490,0:01:35.100
would like to see done with Avoca
0:01:33.689,0:01:39.509
different ideas that we were bouncing
0:01:35.100,0:01:40.829
around and we got over 700 answers I was
0:01:39.509,0:01:42.869
like proud of my community that they
0:01:40.829,0:01:45.270
actually cared what was gonna happen and
0:01:42.869,0:01:47.280
that they took the time to be involved
0:01:45.270,0:01:49.590
in our project a lot of people will want
0:01:47.280,0:01:50.759
to go out to Colorado or Alaska and
0:01:49.590,0:01:53.040
working like national parks which is
0:01:50.759,0:01:56.060
great but also there's a lot to be done
0:01:53.040,0:01:56.060
within the community
