Stay Informed with CAF
Here, we warmly share our meeting minutes, highlights, and the latest hatchery news reports to keep everyone informed as we navigate the ongoing post-storm repairs. As we move into a busy and exciting volunteer season filled with numerous activities and events, there's much to look forward to!
Community Thank You & New Fishing Regs
Repairs and clean-up activities continue at the hatchery. Thanks go to the many folks that got involved at various levels to make this happen and continue to offer their support: ODFW (state and local), Tidewater Construction, Metcalf Sawmill Products, Mast Brothers, Coos-Curry Electric Co. And, of course, thank you to Curry County and City of Gold Beach residents, employees and officials and of course our dedicated volunteers!
Bringing Our Fish Back
We are making progress, slow but steady. We made a significant step forward this week in getting the main water supply line repaired and we have water back to the hatchery. While this is great news, we still have several minor and one major task to complete before we feel it is safe to bring the fish back.
Hatchery Update & Volunteers Needed
CAF Meeting Highlights address the hatchery storm damage update, volunteers needed for upcoming events and our latest sponsors. Most importantly, we donations are needed for our upcoming Rummage Sale!
Storm Damage Update
Important updates regarding storm damage have been shared by NewsWatch 12, and we have also received internal hatchery information. We are pleased to report that 100,000 Fall Chinook Salmon have been successfully transferred to the Elk River Hatchery with zero losses. The community has come together, forming partnerships to assist in restoring the hatchery to full operational status. This united effort showcases the strength of our local community in supporting our fisheries!
