EDITOR’S NOTE: Tillamook County has THREE state-operated fish hatcheries that provide vital fish stocks to our “land of many waters.” Please show up and speak up to make sure that our hatcheries receive the funding necessary to continue to support our fish runs. Mark your calendar to attend the upcoming meeting on June 27th. Be sure to review the information below about making our fish hatcheries sustainable for years to come.
(June 18, 2024 – SALEM, Ore.) ODFW is looking ahead to chart a sustainable future for Oregon’s hatcheries. The public is invited to a meeting June 27 to learn more about the process ODFW is using to thoroughly review the state’s hatcheries and plan for the future.
The review was directed by the 2023 Oregon Legislature and is being conducted by third-party contractors.
The June 27 meeting runs from 10 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the ODFW Salem Headquarters’ Commission Room. However, due to space limitations, the public is encouraged to join the online Teams meeting or call in to 1-503-446-4951 (conference ID 294-092-605#). See below for meeting login details.
