SUPPORTING SCIENCE THAT KEEPS YOU HOOKED
The Frazier Family Foundation, Inc. support of the Center for Sportfish Science and Conservation at HRI is fueled by a fascination with the unknown and a commitment to finding solutions to pressing questions.
The pursuit of answers — whether to known challenges or unexplored mysteries — drives the researchers at the Sportfish Center, and the support of the Frazier Family Foundation.
The Sportfish Center continues working to identify ways to increase the involvement of anglers in the conservation and management of fisheries, which includes the family’s support of the “Science That Keeps You Hooked” initiative.
The Sportfish Center has also spearheaded research into migration patterns of marine life, the role of estuaries in sustaining marine fisheries, and much more to help natural resource managers make highly informed, science-based decisions for our fisheries.
It’s finding those answers that drives the Frazier’s involvement, along with a love of the body of water that is a part of the Frazier family’s legacy.
It offers an opportunity for the next generation to study, preserve, and protect natural resources in the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.
“We believe that providing onramps to introduce and participate in the preservation and protection of the Gulf of Mexico and the waters beyond is the key to unlock the imagination and essential to bring awareness to the next generation,” said Garrett Frazier, vice president of the The Frazier Family Foundation “There has never been a more critical time than now. The next generation has such a powerful opportunity to make a choice to ignore the distractions of devices, step out of the confines of an office, and take a step towards actively participating in the legacy and exploration of natural resource advocacy.”
