Not a hatchery, but an idea that might help increase herring populations.

Several Puget Sound Angler chapters are pursuing this idea. Apparently the location in Vancouver had been a successful herring spawning site prior to construction of the marina. The netting essentially replaced the natural spawning habitat.

When contacted the WDFW forage fish specialist opined that Puget Sound has a lot of suitable habitat which is not being utilized. Bottom line, in the case of herring the "build it and they will come" mantra is not necessarily true.
