There were several guys who testified about the status of the Cowlitz and particularly the loss of early return steelhead and its impact on the local economy.

There was also testimony urging the Commission to stay the course with regard to their original policy to remove gillnets from the main stem of the Columbia. That issue is still perking and will be coming up for Commission action. As an issue it certainly did not receive the support I would have expected. As I recall the CCA reps focused their testimony on the PLAN; hope they are able to quickly shift focus and push support for the CR policy.
