Student\/Young Professional Volunteer Opportunity:<\/strong> Are you interested in helping the Monsters of Fish Habitat workshop? Even if you cannot attend the meeting in Tampa you can volunteer and help. We are searching for a volunteer or two to put together a fun video to promote the upcoming Monsters of Fish Habitat workshop. It should go with the theme of Monsters of Rock and could be a fun spoof on the hard rock ballads\/hair bands of the 1980s. If you have the skills to pay the bills (and are willing to volunteer them) email Tom Lang at tom.lang@tpwd.texas.gov<\/a> asap.
