ALSEA, Ore. – The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking a new board member to represent the wild fish advocacy community on the Oregon Hatchery Research Center Board. As directed by Oregon House Bill 3441, the wild fish advocacy member shall represent wild fish advocacy organizations. The selected candidate will serve a four year term.
The Board is charged with advising the OHRC Director on operational, budget and research priorities. Additional details about the Board’s responsibilities can be found in HB 3441.
Candidates must submit an application by Dec. 31, 2015, which should include three references. The ODFW Director will appoint the new member in early 2016. The application is available on the ODFW web site.
The OHRC is a cooperative research project between ODFW and OSU. The center’s mission is to develop an understanding of the mechanisms that may create differences between hatchery and wild fish, and devise ways to reduce and manage the differences so that hatcheries can be used responsibly in the conservation and management of Oregon’s native fish.
