She works with partners across the Southeast to inventory, prioritize, and replace barriers for aquatic organism passage. Her background is in threatened and endangered freshwater fish and has a passion for conservation. Shawna was first involved in TNAFS in 2016 when she became the social media chair. She was elected in 2018 as the treasurer-secretary and re-elected for a second term in 2021. Her favorite fish is the Laurel Dace, a federally endangered minnow only found in Tennessee! Shawna’s favorite part about working with TNAFS is mentoring students as they are the next generation of fisheries biologists and conservationists.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Email: Shannon@conservationfisheries.org<\/p>\n Conservation Fisheries, Inc. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shannon Murphy-Harty is a Conservation Biologist and Volunteer Coordinator at Conservation Fisheries, Inc where she is the Species Lead for several endangered species of non-game fishes. She has been involved with TNAFS since 2017 when she started attending meetings as an undergraduate at Tennessee Tech. There, Shannon was active in the student sub-unit, first as the Undergraduate Representative, then the President. Over the last several years, she has served as the Website Chair for TNAFS, and as Local Arrangements Chair when our chapter hosted SDAFS in 2024. Shannon has a hard time picking a favorite fish, but it’s usually bouncing back and forth between Duskytail Darters, Boulder Darters, and Barrens Topminnows.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Email: Sally.Petre@tn.gov<\/p>\n Phone: 423-522-2460<\/p>\n Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sally Petre is a Fisheries Biologist at the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.\u00a0 She has been involved with AFS since 2008 as an undergrad at North Carolina State University (Go Wolfpack) through their student fisheries society.\u00a0 She received her Master\u2019s Degree from the University of Arizona working with native trout and non-native crayfish, then continued working in Arizona and being active in AFS in the Western Division.\u00a0 Currently, Sally works as a Region 4 TWRA fish biologist managing streams and rivers for game and non-game species.\u00a0 Learning about all the fantastic work being done throughout the state and building relationships to work together on projects are her favorite things about AFS.\u00a0 Sally does not have a favorite fish because there are so many and so many still to learn about, however, she loves learning about all the fish on USFWS\u2019s \u201cFish of the Week\u201d Podcast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n VACANT, please contact President Shawna Fix with financial questions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Email: Alburch123@gmail.com<\/p>\n Winchester, TN 37398<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aaron Burch is a fisheries technician for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. He is passionate about enhancing Tennessee fisheries for future generations and encouraging today’s youth to spend more time outdoors. He primarily works on the southern reservoirs in Middle Tennessee but also assists the streams and hatchery crews as needed. Aaron first became involved with AFS at Tennessee Tech, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries. Narrowing down a favorite fish is difficult for Aaron, but a blacknose crappie\u2014whether in the water or in a cast iron skillet\u2014is hard to beat. What he loves most about TNAFS is the opportunity to witness the reconnecting, smiling faces of past students, work colleagues, and old “fish-head” friends when everyone gathers together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President: Shawna Fix Email: shawna@southeastaquatics.net Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership Murfreesboro, TN 37128 Shawna Fix is the Aquatic Connectivity Teams Facilitator at SARP (Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership).
