Your Comments Can Help Save Wild Fish in the Sandy River

An action alert from Native Fish Society

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is currently taking comments from the public on four Hatchery and Genetic Management Plans (HGMPs) which seek to maintain the current hatchery operations (coho, spring Chinook, winter & summer steelhead) on the Sandy River. Please send in your comments to let NMFS and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) know that the science is clear: hatchery fish and wild fish cannot thrive together. With the Sandy River dams removed, and stakeholder groups and the public spending millions on habitat restoration for salmon and steelhead, the time is NOW to manage the Sandy River for wild fish.
