The Native Fish Society has put out an action alert regarding a Coastal Conservation Alliance (CCA) application to build an acclimation facility for hatchery spring chinook on the Molalla River.

Needless to say this is a bad idea.

If constructed this facility would increase hatchery and harvest pressures on all fish species in the Molalla River, including populations of resident trout, ESA listed wild winter steelhead, and ESA-listed wild spring chinook.

Before making their recommendation to the ODFW Commissioners on this project, the R&E Board is considering comments from the public, that is where you come in.

PLEASE take action HERE via the Native Fish Society website.
