Texas Parks & Wildlife” is a weekly half-hour television series seen on PBS affiliates around the state. Airing April 17-24, tarpon populations have been in decline over the past few decades, but some marine biologists are hoping to bring this powerful fish back to the Texas Gulf. Coastal Fisheries personnel Ivonne Blandon and Camilo Chavez are just two of the many TPWD employees working alongside scientists and sportsmen to help restore the tarpon to Texas waters. Also this week: venture back in time at Fort Griffin State Park with Lester Galbreath; examine the mysteries of avian navigation with Wild Things host Ann Miller; technical guidance biologist Jimmy Rutledge works closely with Rene Barrientos of the La Golindrina, the 2004 Lone Star Land Steward winner; and finally, relax among the rolling hills and scenic vistas of the Texas Panhandle.
