I hope that this gets the support it should from organizations interested in both aspects of recovery.

Doublehaul, if you are affiliated with WSC do you know if they have had an opportunity to examine the issue or offer support?
Good question Leadslinger!

We have been assured that the WSC is not against all hatchery operations but rather for hatchery reform towards wild steelhead friendly hatchery practices.

We have also been told that they are currently in the process of developing a comprehensive policy towards hatchery operations in general.

I wonder though if the WSC has been able to assess the Lower Skagit Steelhead Acclimation and Rearing Facility project and if they might be able to comment upon its probable impacts at this time?

I would also be curious as to the personal ideas of any members of the WSC about the project? Todd? Jerry Garcia?

Double Haul - Have you had an opportunity to evaluate the project enough to offer support, opposition or other comments?
