Yes. It SHOULD change.

It should be shut down.

Mission accomplished. The hatchery has essentially worked its way out of a job. And it should be celebrated!

At that point, conservation takes the driver's seat so that a GD hatchery is never needed for that population again.

All it takes is a bit of discipline.



You really believe that might/could work on the Chehalis/Humptulips river systems????? Just asking!!!!
