Bush promotes conservation stance with bird watching and fishing
President Bush spent a fall day at Patuxent Research Refuge and Maryland's Eastern Shore tying conservation messages to bird habitats and fish stocks. He announced efforts to reward private landowners who create stopover habitats and tax breaks for conservation easements, while directing agencies to bolster striped bass and red drum stocks and limit sales beyond 200 nautical miles. Local figures mixed views, praising ecology aims but questioning need for striped bass protections.
