SALEM - The Native Fish Conservation Policy Task Force will hold its

Additional topics on the agenda include presentations on conservation
planning, the status of the Oregon Hatchery Research Center, and

industries, conservation organizations, and state and local governments.
The task force meets quarterly to track a variety of fishery issues
related to the implementation of the Native Fish Conservation Policy.

 

The meeting, which is open to the public, will take place at the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife headquarters building at 3406 Cherry
