OHRC Advisory Committee to meet near Alsea
 
ALSEA - The Oregon Hatchery Research Center Advisory Committee will meet
Dec. 16 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Oregon
Hatchery Research Center, 2418 E. Fall Creek Road. 
 
The agenda includes an overview of ODFW's Native Fish Conservation
Policy, and a discussion of fish management in the Alsea basin, initial
research and Science Plan development.
 
The OHRC is a cooperative research project between the Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife and Oregon State University. The OHRC's mission is
to develop an understanding of the mechanisms that may create
differences between hatchery and wild fish, and devise ways to reduce
and manage the differences so that hatcheries can be used responsibly in
the conservation and use of Oregon's native fish.
 
The OHRC Advisory Committee advises the senior scientist on activities
and functions related to the operation and maintenance of the OHRC. The
Committee consists of 15 members who represent the following interests:
federal government, local government, conservation, sport fishing,
commercial fishing, tribal, resource users (agriculture, timber, and
gravel), watershed councils, education, the public-at-large, and
science-at-large.
 
The meeting is open to the public and an opportunity for public comment
is scheduled. Reasonable accommodations will be provided as needed for
individuals requesting assistive hearing devices, sign language
interpreters or large-print materials at all ODFW public meetings.
Individuals needing these types of accommodations may call the ODFW
Director's Office at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6044 at least 24 hours in
advance of the meeting. For more information about the OHRC, visit
