This News Just in from ANWS (Please see their email sent on 11/10/24)
Oregon hatcheries are at risk of closure! Please make your voice heard at the ODFW Hatchery Assessment Meeting!
The meeting will be held this Wednesday, November 13 from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
A number of possible plans for the future of Oregon’s hatcheries are being considered, most of which involve the closure of multiple hatcheries and expansion of select others. We believe that it is in our interest and the interest of future generations to preserve and improve all of our hatcheries, not just some of them. If you agree, we ask that you let ODFW know this Wednesday.
