SALEM, Ore.—Members of the Oregon and Washington Fish and Wildlife commissions' Joint-State Columbia River Salmon Fishery Policy Review Committee will hold a meeting on Monday, Nov. 8 from noon-3 p.m.
Four members of the Washington Commission and three members of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will meet to discuss draft language for a joint commission policy to help guide concurrent fisheries management in the shared waters of the Columbia River.
Commissioners will also receive a brief update on this year's Columbia River steelhead run and actions taken for conservation.
Members of the public may tune into that meeting via Zoom webinar at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/99428417919, or by calling 253-215-8782 or 888-475-4499 and entering the meeting ID: 994-2841-7919.
The meeting is open to the public but no public comment will be taken during the meeting. Public comments can always be sent to odfw.commission@odfw.oregon.gov
Commissioners Wahl, Wolley and Zarnowitz are members of this joint state Columbia River policy subcommittee and will represent Oregon at the meeting.
The joint meetings are not decision-making meetings. The committee members will report back to their full Commissions, who will ultimately consider any changes to their respective policies.
