The World Muskie Alliance (WMA), formerly known as the World Record Muskie Alliance (WRMA) is in the process of implementing a redirection strategy, this redirection strategy will include a change in leadership. The organizations new direction will be to promote/assist any worthy muskellunge conservation effort throughout the species native range.
Primary purpose: individuals Because we are a 501(c) 3 organization, any donation is 100% tax-deductible and because the WMA is (and will remain) self-supporting, all contributions can be allocated by the individual toward a specific project or activity. Primary purpose: organizations
To unite the various organizations for local and international projects and function as a dynamic link between the various muskie groups. Any qualifying organization that shares this united goal can effectively join forces (no dues) and be a part of a strategy that will help to provide additional resources for muskellunge management purposes. Questions for the WMA: Obviously, this type of announcement will generate some questions regarding our direction/intentions. This is wide open. However, part of our agenda will undoubtedly include taking on some of the larger issues that have been plaguing our sport for years. In short, it is our belief that the best way to begin this process is with a question of what the muskie community would like to see this organization address. Regarding muskellunge management:
What is the largest issue conservation minded muskie anglers generally have? What is the largest issue that biologists generally have? Implementing the appropriate solution to these questions will undoubtedly be our biggest challenge. However, having a core group of representatives for the different geographical areas would be the best for the resource, habitat, management, and the future of our great sport. We are a 501(c) 3 shell with no formal agenda looking for people and projects that will make a difference. Please e-mail us if you are interested in helping set up the WMA agenda. Volunteers/board:
