Sorry, but from my reasearch, I've found that CCA doesn't take the popular position, they take the one supported by science and science tells us interaction between hatchery and wild fish is bad. I don't know how they can avoid taking a position.

I don't know if the HSRG is doing any work in Oregon, so Oregon may not want to consider their recommendations as a basis for a policy. I do think WA should, but I'm just one member.


Yes and no aunty m, in the local chapters in the PDX area, the goals and positions aere made by the chapter members that go on to the state level. As for the all hatchery fish are bad for wild fish, there is science on both sides of that argument. Its largely based on how the hatcheries are ran and the stocks used. But this discussion is not for this thread.
