Utah's DWR

Just this past Monday, April 25th, Jim Karpowitz was named the new director of Utah's division of wildlife resources. According to this article, Karpowitz is going to be facing some serious challenges in his first year as director. Due to recent changes in retirement benefits, at least 8 of the top fisheries biologists will retire by the end of the year. With over 150 years of fisheries experience between them, Karpowitz will be forced to recruit biologists that have little or no experience. Before Karpowitz was named director in DWR, he was mainly involved in Big-Game management. I wonder what effects the loss of experienced biologists will have on the way that fisheries are managed in Utah. I know that Utah doesn't even compare to say Idaho or Montana when it comes to fisheries, and things probably won't get better with such drastic changes in the DWR.
Karpowitz acknowledged that young anglers and hunters, from which the DWR receives revenue, are beginning to lose interest in Utah's outdoors, which could create problems in the future if their interest is not regained.
