Now is a once-in-a-generation chance for Oregonians to weigh in on the general public financial investments YOU desire our state to make to construct durability for salmon, steelhead, and trout in the face of an altering environment.
Presently, ODFW is conducting a survey to determine the general public’s assistance for investing public funds to upgrade its ailing state hatchery centers. Under different options, the state would require over $200 million to combine the hatchery system, repair falling apart facilities, broaden centers, and include environment modification adjustment innovations like photovoltaic panels and water chillers. Most of these hatchery centers launch fish into free-flowing seaside rivers– the extremely positions where we ought to be focusing on wild fish.
Our company believe that fish and Oregonians would be far better off by investing more of these funds in nature, not concrete. By eliminating culverts not including pellets. By purchasing healthy forests and shade, not chillers.
