Dr. Gary Carmichael, director of the Mora National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center, Mora New Mexico, received the coveted Department of Energy and the Federal Interagency Policy Committee 2000 Federal Energy and Water Management Award for the Department of Interior. The award, presented at a DOE ceremony in Washington D.C., recognized the contribution the technology center made toward efficient use of energy in the federal sector during Fiscal Year 1999. The technology center's mission is to investigate and demonstrate improved water conservation and reuse methodology for cold, cool, and warm water fishes and propagate threatened and endangered species. The center, incorporating leading-edge water reuse technology in fish production, rears cold water rainbow trout, Rio Grande cutthroat trout, and the endangered Gila trout. The imperiled warm water bony tail and razorback sucker are also reared.
