As many of you know, the Adobe Whitewater Club of New Mexico is currently involved in a petition to the Supreme Court of New Mexico to uphold the rights of the public to access the waters of New Mexico as laid out in the state constitution. Below is a letter to all AWC members written by members of the AWC’s Stream Access Coalition.

Additional details on the history of this issue are available here, as well as on the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers website (BHA, along with the New Mexico Wildlife Federation, are co-petitioners along with the AWC).

Ed Lucero is spear heading the dialog with The Army Corp of Engineers at Abiquiu, in an effort to get a play wave created when they revamp the current spillway. At the current time it appears that the Fish and Game folks and The Army Corp of Engineers are on board. It does appear that additional funding will need to be secured in the way of grants. The greater paddling community has raised $1500.00 towards the project at this time. Donations can be sent to Steve Harris c/o Rio Grande Restoration a nonprofit that will be holding the funds until they are needed. More fundraising to come.
