FWC RESOLUTION HONORS STEVE IRWIN

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday, acknowledging the late Australian television personality Steve Irwin as a giant among giants in fish and wildlife conservation.

FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto read the resolution aloud during the first day of the Commission’s three day meeting in St. Petersburg.  He said Irwin will always be an icon that rallied people behind conservation issues through his communication skills and colorful personality.

 “The future of fish and wildlife around the world depends on support from well-informed people,” Barreto said, “and Steve Irwin served that cause with passion, dedication and talent.”

The FWC will forward the resolution to Irwin’s family.

Irwin died recently while diving among giant stingrays off Australia’s shores.
