Under this program, access-trespass problems have declined and this has helped recreationists by opening up more access opportunities. The majority of landholders are receptive to access when permission is requested before entering their lands. The Outdoor Observer program introduced a 24- hour "hotline" with a 1-800-642-3800 number to report fish and wildlife violations. A mandatory First Time Hunter Test has been developed for implementation under the new wildlife regulations. Close ties continued with the Alberta Fish and Game Association and local naturalist groups. Commu- nity leadership was provided by Fish and Wildlife staff working in co- operation with numerous private organizations and corporations on environment and resource conservation matters. In managing the province's aquatic resources, the division's goal is to maintain or enhance fish populations for the benefit and enjoyment of Albertans. One important aspect of this program is the annual fish- stocking of Alberta lakes, streams and other waterbodies. During the year more than million fish were reared and stocked in 308 waterbodies (Figures 10 and 11). This not only provided angling opportunities in areas with limited natural fisheries but also ensured a variety
