Pennsylvania’s waterways are more than just picturesque escapes for anglers, boaters, and nature enthusiasts-they’re thriving ecosystems that require careful protection and management. Behind the scenes, Waterways Conservation Officers (WCOs) play a crucial role in conserving these aquatic resources. These officers aren’t just enforcers of fishing and boating laws; they’re educators, community liaisons, and stewards of the environment. Shane Casey is one of these dedicated officers, patrolling the waters of Schuylkill County and Northern Berks County to ensure they remain safe and vibrant for all who enjoy them.
