Hatchery Research Center seeks advisory committee member
 
ALSEA - State fishery officials today announced an opening for an
individual to represent conservation issues on the 15-member Oregon
Hatchery Research Center Advisory Committee. 

The committee advises the OHRC senior scientist on activities and
functions related to the operation and maintenance of the facility,
located west of Alsea. 

A cooperative research project between Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife and Oregon State University, the center'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 will be responsible in the conservation
and management of Oregon's native fish.

Committee members represent the federal government, local governments,
conservation groups, sport-fishing groups, the commercial fishing
industry, tribes, agriculture, timber and gravel resource users,
watershed councils and education. Two members represent the
public-at-large and four represent the scientific community.

Candidates must submit a letter of interest by May 15. The letter must
specify the applicant's qualifications. ODFW and OSU representatives
will finalize selections by June.

For additional information about the advisory committee or to submit a
letter of interest, please contact Lisa Kingsley at
lisa.m.kingsley at state.or.us or 503-947-6211.
