There is a river that has fish growing in it. I want to study this river and get paid doing the work. How?????
Where would I report any changes in the water? Tagging & Releasing to study seasonal patterns the fish have become adapted to. Financial help for supplies such as (Tackle, bait, equipment, ect.)…the help necessary to provide the proper study of this river to the full potential. This river flows out the mouth of a man made dam. My partner and I have studied this field of study out of pocket but the gain has been slim due to the lack of funds for the adiquit reports. Thoughts and suggestions should be sincer
Contact a local environmental club to sponsor you. My mushroom club has been sponsoring a field study for quite a few years.
If you can find a way to publish your results, it will give you credibility.
Also, clubs are always looking for speakers at their meetings, prepare a slide show, and publicize your project. Will any of your research support the goals of another environmental group? They may become your partners.
Contact the local newspaper for publicity. Small neighborhood newspapers are always in need of stories.
My public library has a grant-writing section. Learn who might give a grant for your kind of research.
I know that the US Forest Service provides resources for researchers studying in the forest through a matching program, so government agencies may be a resource.
Contact other researchers doing similar projects and find out how they get paid.
