Minter Creek is a great example of what Puget Sound could be. There are hundreds of Creeks that could be planted with hatchery fish that have out migration but no longer have successful spawning on average years. Plant every species of salmonids in them! Use volunteers similar to the Salmon in the Classroom program. It seems so simple?


There are sportfishing organizations that would like to participate in salmon propagation efforts to include floating hatchery rearing facilities and egg boxes. It seems that WDFW is so decentralized that there is no one currently and officially designated as the "go to" person to facilitate those volunteers. If WDFW is serious about getting more fish reared and released and use volunteers in so doing (cost effectiveness) then they need to have the proverbial one belly button to push.

Hello WDFW - we've been knocking on the door......
